I was at a home game this week and someone requested this game. There was one major change though in that the dealer did not deal himself a face up card first. The procedure was:
1. There is a fixed amount of dealer money in the pot.
2. Each player received a face up card. The dealer received a face-down card.
3. The first player decides on how much he wants to bet.
4. Only after the player bet amount is made does the dealer deal himself the face up card
5. Play continues as a usual heads-up blackjack hands. No splits, no doubles, and dealer wins all ties.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for the next player
Without knowing basic strategy, as a player I min-bet 2-9 and max bet 10/A.
Has anyone played this variant or have analytics on it?
