What is the difference between no insurance rule and no hole card rule?

[Julio88]

The no insurance rule in blackjack is different from the no hole card rule. The no insurance rule simply means that players cannot place an insurance bet when the dealer has an Ace showing. The no hole card rule, on the other hand, means that the dealer does not look at their hole card (the card that is not visible to the players) until after the players have acted. This means that if the dealer has a blackjack, the players will still lose their bets even if they would have won if the dealer had looked at the hole card first.

The no insurance rule means that players do not have the option to place an insurance bet if the dealer shows an ace. On the other hand, the no hole card rule means that the dealer does not deal themselves a second card until after the players have made their decisions.
