As promised, I am attacking the early surrender table I told you guys about in an earlier post.
I just colored up for a lunch break, a purple, two blacks, a green, two reds...
Bought in for $500 three hours ago. So it would seem to be working out well.
I need to get as much action on these rules as possible, it can't last!

you can confirm that this "early surrender" is indeed reality?

PS: just noticed there is a matter of early surrender against ace, but it is additional if against also a ten [I assume]

Quote:

Early surrender against ace +0.39%
Early surrender against ten +0.24%

The game is real, I have been hitting it all day.
Just finished my second session and taking a break before I go back for a shot at the high limit table.
Early surrender does indeed combine those numbers and yields 0.63% reduction of the house edge.

Even with a small player edge, in the short term variance will cloud everything. I wouldn't be too psyched about a couple session wins.

If this casino really does offer the rules as stated, I would be worried about the game being above-board, i.e. the deck, shuffle, and deal are all fair.
