Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster here.
At my local casinos we play a no hole card game, except dealer blackjack results in the loss of only the original bet.
My question is regarding playing stiffs at 3rd base -- any card that you don't take goes to the dealer. Many times I made a pat 17/18/19 from my stiff 13/14/15/16 against a dealer 10, only to see the dealer next draw a 10/face. If I stand on my stiff dealer would have busted.
Basic strategy states it's poor play to stand. But in situations when a good card for me would be a bad card for dealer anyways (and vice versa), I wonder whether there are exceptions. If anyone has done maths on this topic and would like to present the results that would be fantastic.
