Single Deck Multi-hand (3 hands), dealer Hit Soft 17, double any two card total, late surrender, double after split, surrender after split (including after split aces), no re-split, no hole card (player lose all splits and doubles if dealer have blackjack), player blackjack vs dealer blackjack - player lose. Deck re-shuffled after each round. House edge 0.211 1. How big is the player gain in EV if he is able to adjust to all indexes according to the 7 cards (13.5% penetration) he is able to see before he act on his hands ? (For example lets say that the house edge would be 0.12 if he plays only one single hand, and that thing will not change. But if he plays 3 hands at once, then he gain some EV on all hands, and the most on the last hand he plays 3rd base) - So what would be the HE if the player would flat bet 1 unit on each of the 3 hands but play according to deck composition left and adjust to all indexes possible ? - Same question, but for when the player bet 1 unit on the first two hands and 98 units in 3rd base ? (I suspect on overall ~0.2 player edge) 2. Lets change a bit the rules, to actually lower the initial house edge from 0.211 to 0.126 by using the following rules: dealer Stand on Soft 17, double on 10-11 only, no surrender, no double after split, no re-split, no hole card (player lose all splits and doubles if dealer have blackjack), player blackjack vs dealer blackjack - player wins. Deck re-shuffled after each round. - I`m not sure if is still possible to overcome this smaller house edge with the previous strategy since we can not apply so many indices and the player edge would be way lower (if any ?) due to the lack of indices we can apply due to no surrender and restrictions on doubles.
