There is an error in the strategy chart. The proper play is to DOUBLE in that situation, as this site indicates.duanedibley said:I set the rules to SD H17 DOA nDAS in practice mode and the strategy chart on the right displays 'P' (Split) for 44 v. 5 and 44 v. 6. The basic strategy engine here gives Double as the correct play for these hands. Which is correct?
SPLIT would be the correct decision if the player had the option to double after splitting.
I will fix this error and look into the problem to see if it is occurring elsewhere, as well.
