I would double down on CYDY all day!
Just an FYI in connection with Respert's post where he claims you ALWAYS double down on 11, that is not quite true.
When playing a shoe game, you don't double down when the dealer can stand on a soft 17.
How do I know this? If you have ever heard of the movie "21" (Kevin Spacey) or the book "Bringing Down the House" about the MIT team that took Vegas for millions of $$, I actually dated a woman on the team and she taught me and 5 other people how to count cards. We played high stakes blackjack in Vegas and places in Southern California (once we passed her requisite tests) and did quite well.
I don't drink when I play blackjack because it's just not my thing. When playing Pai Gow? I love to drink because math is not involved. LOL
