Seems to be that way. Funny how many people go literally APE SHIT when you hit a 12 against a 2 for example, or double down a 10 against a 7, or hit a soft 18 against a face.

Although certain casinos, and higher min. bet tables, seem to be a bit better in regards to players who know the game in this regard. But ultimately, according to the pros, as long as you play basic strategy YOUR HAND no matter what else goes on at the table... you will have the best odds LONG RUN in regards to the cards.

True dat. Some casinos have very slanted rules on table games versus others. Rules in regards to double down, min. bet if playing two hands, dealer must hit a soft 16/17/18, and so forth.
