Cap. 5
Surrendering and casino variations
Late surrender gives up half your bet to escape the worst matchups — and used correctly it's a profit tool, not a white flag. This chapter covers the handful of hands where surrender is mathematically right, then the rule variations that shift strategy: whether the dealer hits or stands on soft 17 (H17 vs S17), double after split (DAS), and European no-hole-card games. Same cards, different table rules, different correct move.
