I just finished a page on Doublet Blackjack. It is blackjack with the European no-peek rule and double down rescue. I figured it was different enough to warrant a special page, barely.

As always, I welcome comments, suggestions, and especially corrections.

The question for the poll is would you play this game over regular blackjack, assuming an equal house edge?

The strategy table looks good, except it'd be more informative to novice players that "D" turns into "H" when you're no longer able to double. Most players who understand the basics of the game and those who have studied the Wizard's charts should intuitively figure it out, but it might be a good idea to note that just to be consistent with the other 21 games' charts.

The only difference to UK strategy I can see is you double 11 vs 10 (as it's a close decision normally) as the surrender 12-16 has just swung it to worth doing. I can't think it's worth doubling vs Ace, so slightly confusing to have the surrender rules, but I guess you have to include them if someone did double.

It's nice to surrender duff totals, but I'm not convinced the change is worth it - however it might be a good promotion for UK casinos to offer as it doesn't cost much and actually may make them money through player errors!

I suspect US based players would prefer to keep the peek rule.
