Does anyone know if there are any basic strategy exceptions for UK blackjack:

dealer does not peek
dealer stands on soft 17
double any 2 cards
re-split aces
double after split
no surrender

Those rules appear to be standard ENHC; here's the differences compared to a hole-card game with all other rules being the same:

Hit 11 vs. 10 instead of double
Hit 8,8 vs. 10 and A instead of split
Hit A,A vs. A instead of split

In other words, except for A,A vs. 10 do not double or split when the dealer is showing a 10 or Ace. (By the way, for those who are wondering ENHC does not affect hit/stand strategy in any cases.)

Thanks but I think I was not being very clear. My fault.

I am familiar with the wizards strategy change of compared to the hole card game and it's been a great help so far.

What I was really after was if there are any composition dependent exceptions such as not hitting with a 3 card 16 vs 10 for example?

I don't know the exact exceptions, but like I said ENHC does not affect any hitting vs. standing decisions (so like you said with the 16 vs. 10 exceptions if you find them from another source it doesn't matter whether they're for a HC or ENHC game).

Thanks for your reply.

I will have to try it out.

It's sure going to feel weird standing on 16!

I don't play negative shoes so I stand on a three card 16 against a ten. I know some basic strategy players who stay only on a 16 that contains a 4 or a 5.

If you really want to feel weird, sit at third base and do it. The ploppies will go nuts especially the ones who stay on 16 vs 7.
