If I double down on every soft hand and every hard non-bustable hand against dealers 6 how much will the house edge change?

8 decks continuous shuffle
dealer hits soft 17
can double on anything except 21
no surrender
max 4 splits, can double after split
split aces once no hit after split
bj pays 3-2
lose only original bet to dealer bj
min bet $5 max $1k

theres a chart somewhere on either this or wizardofodds which tells you each scenario and how much edge it adds to the casino... but im pretty sure everytime you deviate you are giving the casino a bigger edge over yourself on average

Yes, this will increase the house edge, probably by 3%-5% I'd guess but I'm sure the tools on Wizard of Odds can be more exact.
Playing it correctly means you've already won.
