Soft 17 double?

I see tables all the time where the dealer hits on soft 17 and honestly, I always wonder if it’s worth doubling down on my own soft 17. I know the “perfect strategy” people always say no, but sometimes it feels like there’s that window, esp…

so at my usual live dealer table, they just switched from 3,2 to 6,5 on blackjacks and honestly i’m not happy about it. i get that they’re doing it for “house edge” or whatever, but it feels like such a cheap move. most of the regulars seem…
