Which of the following plays is appropriate if the dealer presents an Ace AND hits on a soft 17 (H-17 rule)?
Explanation:
If the dealer shows an ace and hits a soft 17, you should double down on an 11. If you have a soft 19 and the dealer has a 6, you should also double down. Lastly, if the dealer shows a 2, you will double down on a soft 18.
If double after splitting (DAS) is permitted, you should only split a 4,4, when the dealer has a 5 or 6.
Explanation:
In general, whether doubling down after splitting is permitted determines whether to split a 4-4 hand. When playing with DAS, you should split fours when the dealer's up card is a four, five, or six. You have a high chance to double down if, after splitting, you hit a 5, 6, 7 or an Ace because the dealer is very likely to receive a stiff hand.
