Re. the Ace/Five Strategy post on Wizard's site:
If you can find a double deck game with liberal rules* (i.e., 50.255 house edge), then wouldn't this still be better than six-deck game with equally liberal rules** (i.e., 50.285 house edge) for Ace/Five?
Thanks!
* e.g., decent penetration, BJ pays 3 to 2, Dealer stands on soft 17, Double after split allowed, Resplit up to 4 hands, but Re-splitting aces NOT allowed - about a 50.255 house edge)
** e.g., above 2deck rules, plus Late Surrender and Re-splitting aces allowed - about 50.285 house edge)
