Keep in mind that the odds change when cards are removed from the decks. The odds of a dealer busting an ace are a lot lower. If it's a "stand on soft 17" double deck game, then the dealer will bust roughly 11.5% of the time when showing an ace. If it's a "hit on soft 17" game, then the odds of the dealer busting increases to just under 14%. Although a "hit soft 17" game gives a greater chance of the dealer busting on an ace, it gives the player worse overall odds. A dealer with a Soft 17 will usually improve the hand when hitting.
