It looks like T. Hopper’s strategy is a little more aggressive. Those are plays that you usually don’t make in multi-deck games. Also, Counter’s Basic Strategy (CBS) is often a little different than the standard basic strategy:

I don’t think T. Hopper’s strategy was meant for No Hole Card games. If the dealer doesn’t take a hole card then you should not double against a ten or ace (or split eights against them) because you will lose more. There are some casinos that will only take your original bet, but I think most European casinos will take all doubles and splits when they get a BJ.

I thought the engine said to double on 11 vs. 2-10, not 2-9. :confused:
