Hi,

Could somebody tell me what the house edge is for this game? (The Wizard's Blackjack House Edge Calculator does not have this rule as an option.)

6 and 8 decks
Dealer Stands on Soft 17
Double after Split is allowed
Double on hard hands only (this is the part I can't set in the calculator)
Can resplit to 3 hands
Resplit Aces is not allowed
Split Aces receive 1 card only
Only original bet lost against Dealer's Blackjack
No Surrender
BJ pays 3 to 2

Ideally I would like to know both the Optimal and Realsitic House Edge.

Thanks a lot

You can set it. It's double on 9, 10, or 11 only (with basic strategy, you never double any other hard total unless you are playing single deck)

Set the calculator for D9-11. Basic Strategy never suggests doubling hard 8 or less, anyway.
May the cards fall in your favor.
