What's the advantage if the dealer shows both cards?

I just recieved some information on a event thatt will be taking place where the dealer will show both cards!! What advantage would this give the player? I know they will be using a csm so counting would not be possible. I would assume this difference in the rules would make it worth putting forth the effert to play. As far as I know standard rules will apply, h17, das, and only one card dealt to split aces. Could anyone tell me what the advantage would be playing this way?

Make sure there isn't a killer in there, like "dealer wins ties" or "dealer 22 pushes"
May the cards fall in your favor.

That's what I am wondering Dieter. I keep thinking that there is something that is not being told that will negate this type of play. Regardless I am going to play and see how it goes.

This sounds too good to be true. No way they'll play a 10% player advantage game. They sweat losing money on a 1% house edge game.

Yeah that's what I am thinking. I am sure they are not telling everything.

They didn't use the magic phrase "double exposure", did they?
Maybe they're doing something creative, like not showing both cards every hand, randomly (?) selecting somehow when they'll show the hole card before player action.

There is no mention of any of those things. It's states that the dealer shows you both his cards. This is your chance to have a competitive edge.
That's the only details I have.

As far as I know this event is still taking place but there is a kicker. BJ are 6:5. To make matters worse the min bet is $6. I've never heard of that before. The table does have a 3cp side bet and betting $5 with a $1 3cp side bet satisfies the minimum. I still plan to play this event but knowing it's 6:5 takes out a lot of the excitement.
