2nd to last spot - $25 bet - 10/2
anchor - $1,500 - A/3
Dealer - showing a 3.
Initially, I was going to stay with my 12, but there were like four 10's dealt before me, so I figured I could eat a few low cards on my bets, so dealer can bust. So I hit on my my 12, I got a 6. Stayed...
Now the question of my big bet. I decided to double down, because I didn't want to overthink and ponder at what to do, so I doubled and I got a 10. Great I got a 14. Now I have to earn this one...
Dealer ended up showing a 13 like I expected and got a 7 and took my money. The whole time, if I didn't double, I would've taken another card and I would've gotten a 21 and saved the table. Of course I made the right play by the book, but I should've trusted my gut and played the shoe. Oh well, you win some and you lose some big ones [You must be logged in to view images.

You did not make the right play by the book.
A/3 doubles only against a dealer 5 or 6. The correct play was to hit.
12 hits against a dealer 2/3, but stays against 4/5/6. The correct play was to hit.
Soft aces are tricky. For the record...
A/2 & A/3 double against 5/6
A/4 & A/5 double against 4/5/6
A/6 & A/7 double against 3/4/5/6
