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.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

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.
