Playing a crowded 6 deck table is a waste of time, even if it is all the best rules including S 17. Head up play will always be the best though since you are maximizing your hands per hour. Also, it can be helpful if others are placing larger bets than you to deflect unwanted attention. The plus side of having a few other players is you can actually wong out for bathroom breaks in a 1-2 deck game. I prefer there be no more than 4 players at the table, and 1-3 (including me) is better. I would look at two other playing conditions that I would say are both highly important:Īlso, avoiding full tables is very important. Hitting soft 17 is not what you need to be looking for.
