State your opinion on whether you think it is worth the risk to double on soft 16 i.e. ace + 5 against 2 to 6, as 3 of potential 5 cards to better hand ranging from A to 5 are already taken, leaving only 2 cards out of 13 i.e. about 15% chance. Substantiate your answer. (Ok, not to sound completely ignorant, assuming this is on a fairly low count when the dealer is less likely to bust.) How do you think this compares with the dealer's odds of potentially obtaining a more favorable hand under these conditions? I value your reply, as I'm still quite new at this. Thanks.
In good faith

it seems you would use basic strategy but I am not sure I understand parts of your question
