Is there any difference for the players between this and if the dealer only draws one card?
I don't see any, but perhaps you have another view.
Actually to some people they may think it makes a difference, like the flow of the cards. It's like what some people say, why the last player draw that card, if he didn't draw it, dealer would have bust.
But its as if everyone will know what's the next card that is coming out. If anyone of us knew, we can be superman.
To me it doesn't make a difference. Because the dealer would still have to draw to 17. :p
Actually the most important part of blackjack is upon knowing what card the dealer has vs the cards that we have, we have to leverage our chances of winning and decide whether to split, double, hit, stand, surrender.
It's like why hit when you can double?
Why stand when you can surrender?
Why split when you can stand?
So on days when dealer cards are very strong, keep getting, 9, 10s, Ace, very hard to win also. So is to think how to lose less by weighing the chances. Then go back another day when dealer keep getting 3,4,5,6s, just whack as hard as possible to get the wins.
On days like this, even when my 1st 2 cards get only 6 points, and dealer has a 10, I will surrender to get back half first.
Against Dealer 10,
6pts getting 10,J,Q,K is 16points (highest failure rate)
6pts getting 9 is 15points (highest failure rate)
6pts getting 8 is 14points (also high failure rate)
6pts getting 7 is 13points (also high failure rate)
6pts getting 6 is 12 points (no man's land)
8 chances gone, left 5 chances.
6pts getting 5 is 11 (good chance to have 21)
6pts getting 4 is 10 (equally good chance to have 20. 21pts outsider)
6pts getting 3 is 9 (good chance to hit 19, but 19 may just stand off against dealer)
6pts getting 2 is 8 (getting 8pts has a high tendency to get only 18points max. and from 8 points, 8,7,6,5 cards are cards which delivers 13-16)
6pts getting Ace is 7 or 17. (I don't understand why people will stand. It's a pair of condemned values. 17 vs dealer 10 is another killer)
In such situations, having a 6pts against dealer 10 is not a good thing either. Once a 3rd card is taken and the situation turns bad, there is no way to surrender already.
