I've been using this chart to have fun playing Blackjack online:

The Wizard of Odds 4-Deck to 8-Deck Blackjack Strategy

I did want to ask if there's a chart for the way online casinos work where dealer does not have to reveal a Blackjack right away when showing a T or face card. They wait until the very end. At least that's how it works on PokerStars and other sites I've played.

I imagine this makes it so that doubling down with 11 against a face card might be bad? Hoping someone has done the math already.

Sure, just go to the hand calculator, put in the rules and select, “Dealer does not peek for Blackjack.”

You’ll also have to choose that you only lose original wager, unless that’s not true.

(I interpreted the thread title as something very different and got really excited!!!)

i once had a dealer who signals to the table that he had blackjack every time - im nearly certain he just had the f its and wanted to be fired - he nodded or shook his head accordingly

this is kind of what i thought was happening but i definitely interpreted it different as well
