I know that at the Longhorn casino in Las Vegas that they allow you to double on the first 2 or 3 cards. How does that affect the casino advantage? I know that you won't be doubling on 3 cards very often, so it must not be much but I was just wondering.

Can you re-double? ie: 7v6, double down, catch a 2-4 (for 9-11)....can you re-double down on that 3-card 9-11?

You can't redouble, but say you get a 2,4 on your first 2 cards then catch a 5 for a total of 11. At that point you can double down.

It's worth about 0.2%. Will you alter you doubling strategy on soft hands?
