Blackjack

Haven't posted much lately, need to catch up. At Crown yesterday I wandered over to the BJ tables in the Poker Room, not to play, just to watch for a few minutes. Was happy for two country fellows when dealer went 10-2-10, until he said "Stand off!" I was like WTF? Dealer informed me that at some BJ tables, it's a stand-off when dealer hits 22!!!!!

The latest BJ rules from 6/12/2011 mention "Blackjack Plus":

22.3.1 A Blackjack Plus wager placed by a player will:
(a) Win if:
(v) The total of the player’s hand is less than 21 and that of the Dealer’s hand is in excess of 22.

(c) Stand off if:
(ii) The score of the Dealer’s hand is 22 for all wagers remaining on the layout.

Surely not.

I used to play quite a bit back in the day at skycity in Adelaide, but the rules got to much. Automatic shufflers, only being able to double in 9,10,11, dealer hitting on soft 17, only paying 5:6 on bj etc. but standoff on 22? Really? Is this convention at the crown now?

Also, a while ago I think I got more money taken from me then I should have. I doubled, but accidentally didn't put enough chips down, and had a higher denomination on top - dealer didn't notice. I lost the double, and when the dealer went to take my chips realised I had less than my original bet as my double. He then asked I give him more money so it equaled my original bet. My issue is, if I had one, I doubt he would have paid me a full double amount... And partial doubling is allowed. So was I in the wrong, or did the dealer have no right to ask for more cash once the hand was over?

Dealer shouldnt ask for more, seen this a hundred times and all have ended up with floor calling supervisor and original wager counts because of the exact reason you said, they wouldn't pay you more if you won
