Basic strategy? Shoe games? S17? Hit vs 9,10 ace. Stay on everything else.
Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth. - Mahatma Ghandi

If it's a double down when two cards, stay when it's 3+ cards.
Casinos are not your friends, they want your money. But so does Disneyland.
And there is no chance in hell that you will go to Disneyland and come back with more money than you went with.

You would stand against an ace in a S17, SD game, and you would hit in a shoe game, but it is a very close play. The reason it's a close play is because if the dealer has a 6 under his ace, you already have him beat. Or if the dealer draws to reach a total of soft 17 you already have him beat.
You're not likely to find a S17 SD game unless it's 6:5 (which you shouldn't be playing anyway).

Greasyjohn beat me to it.
3-card Soft-18 is a stand in Stand-17 games. But' I'll usually hit in 8 deckers: must hit in Hit-Soft-17 games, not close at all.

Some people need to reimagine their thinking.

Soft 18 vs. Ace with S17 is a composition-dependent play (if you don't have all the combinations memorized it's best to stand if SD, in DD hit with 2 cards and stand with 3+ cards, and in shoe games always hit).
