I believe that standing on the three-card 16 applies when the hand contains a 4 or 5. However, I have read somewhere (I really think it was on Wizard of Odds) that an exception to this rule is when the hand is composed of 6,6,4. Also, if someone can confirm I believe another exception is when the hand is composed of 10,4,2 (from the same source that gave the advice regarding 6,6,4).
Also remember that standing on the 3-card 16 only applies when the dealer has a 10 showing.
I think you have it lol.
Best thing is have the program that k_c offers. It's 100% accurate as far as I can tell. (Sorry k-c - that probably is a negative endorsement in the minds of most coming from me).
I don't know where I got this stuff from but I get 10,4,2 vs dealer 10 in an S17 game is a Stand on at least 1 thru 6 decks but a Hit in 8D.
I get 6,6,4 vs 10 is a hit in 1 thru 8 decks in an S17 game.
Conversely I get things like 10,5.A vs 10 is a Hit in 1 thru 8 decks vs 10
in S17 games.
So, while it may be true to "always hit 3-card 16's vs 10" or even "always stand on 3-card 16's vs 10 when the 3 cards contain a 4 or 5" on average, it may also be true that there are execptions to those rule because some hands occur with less frequency than others.
I never cared much about an H17 Game because I never played one.
I regret, and personally apologise to you k_c, for never having taken you up on an offer to try out your program for free.
Every thing your program said I remember I agreed with 100% when I used your trial offer.
It's just that by the time I got my glacier-like lazy ass to take you up on your offer, it was no longer there lol.
As anyone knows, I'm much better at talking the talk than walking the walk.
At the risk of ruining any future sales, I love your program in that it answers a million questions with 100% accuracy as far as I could tell. Which means basically nothing. (Not that it means nothing as far as it answers them correctly but as far as "I can tell" lol)
I love Norm's stuff too but I don't have it either (except CVBJ - version 2 or 2.1 or so lmao) so don't feel bad.
I figure my endorsements of his stuff have cost him more than my endorsements of you :grin:
Seroiuosly folks, believe it or not, if you want to know stuff like this, and if you can't put pencil to paper to questions like this, or don't have the time,
just spend the money to buy it.
This comp-dependent crap saved me 0.0003 of every dollar I wagered in a particular game. One million dollars later of wagering in that particular game that was $300 to me.
Not alot of absolute dollars, granted, but, what the heck, thanks, someone, for the 6 cases of free vodka.
Not to mention the priceless value of pissing wannabe BS players off who only know the rule "always hit 16 vs 10" and want to to kick my ass in the parking lot later just because I may have made the right play but it is beyond their limited understanding lmao.
OK - in real life it really hasn't made a measurable difference but, still, I still make the correct comp-dependent BSplay just to get a rise out of people.
On the internet, it actually has saved me, by my estimate, about $300. Woo-hoo lol.
$1MM later of wagers, do I really care that much about $300 anyway?
So when in AC playing BS, I hit in an S17 8D game
10,4,2
10,3,3
9,6,A
8,6,2
7,6,3
6,6,4
and stand on
10,5,A
9,5,2
9,4,3
8,7,A
8,5,3
8,4,4
7,7,2
7,5,4
6,5,5
vs dealer 10 just for the fun of it realizing it won't make much difference anyway lol.
Hopefully, k_c's program would verify all that.
