Yea. The minimum total you should double with is a 9 and thats only with the dealer shows a 4,5, or 6.

that's not enough information to use as gospel.

in an old school single deck game (BJ pays 3:2), you double 8 vs. dealer 5 or 6, and double 9 against 2 through 6.

typical 6-8 deck shoe game, double 9 against 3/4/5/6 are all +EV.

best strategy is to generate the chart for the exact game conditions that you're going to play, before sitting down and making your first bet.
