best blackjack variant if you hate playing against 6 decks.

Every time I see that shoe with 6 decks stacked up, my brain just wants to bail. I know they say you can still get good odds if you play smart, but shuffling through all those cards makes me feel like I’m just spinning my wheels. I’d way rather find something closer to a single or double deck, but half the places online just default to the shoe games now.

Does anyone else try to hunt down the rare single-deck or even double-deck blackjack tables? Seems like they’re always in the back, half empty, or loaded up with weird rules that kill the edge anyway. I get why the casinos do it, but for those of us who actually want to play blackjack and not just some counting-proof version, what’s worth searching for these days? I can take a higher minimum if it means a purer game, but there’s got to be a limit to how much hassle is worth it.
