A little help with an unusual BJ hand.

Game has an not very common rule. Six cards is an automatic winner. My hand is 4,2,3,5,2. So I have five cards totaling 16. vs Dealer Face. I'd normally never hit a four or five card 16, but with this rule, am I better off hitting? 5/13 chance of catching a winning card vs the odds of dealer busting? Especially with five low cards removed from the deck.

With 6 card charlie, you hit a 5 card 17 vs 8-A, 16 vs 2-3, and 15 vs 4-6. So yes, you should have hit the 16vT.

Thanks. I busted, but dealer had another face so I was screwed either way.

Just don't hit a 6 card soft 21 or the machine could malfunction.
