Blackjack Strategy for Ace
However, if I'm dealt an Ace where the dealer is showing a low card (assume 4).
Should I double on the Ace (following basic strategy for 11). Or should I hit (because I might get an Ace pair) ?

Have you found a game that allows you to double down after being dealt one card and you already can see one dealer card? If so, Axel is on his way to your town....

Is this a special blackjack variation where if your first card is an Ace you can tell the dealer to stop dealing ?
What is your other card ?

I have never heard of that rule variation, and frankly I doubt it exists.
If it does exist then you would:
Surrender a 4,5, or 6 vs. a dealer Ace.
Doubling:
The rules for doubling with an Ace would depend upon what happens when you get a blackjack with the 2nd card. Would the payout be 3:2 for the doubled bet?
Otherwise, you would certainly double a Ten vs 2-9. Since this is almost 19% of all the hands dealt to player, I believe that this rule would change the odds to be significantly in favor of the player.

Go back sooner.
With these bj rules the casino will be bankrupt in 3 months
Blackjack pays 3:2
I remember making a call as soon as the first card was dealt. Maybe it was the dealer asking if I wanna surrender.
Since it was my first time and I was nervous using basic strategy. I might have mixed up the details. Either ways, I'll update this thread after my next visit. Cheers! :)
And thanks all for the response !

How did you do? Any confusion with BS?
Also I didn't double on any of the hands cuz I wasn't confident. But if I'd done so, I probably would've been ahead
Edit: Played for two hours
