“Seat 1 has hard 16 (6,4,6) vs dealer K. Hitting per basic strategy. Count is very negative, so the remaining shoe is low-card rich, which favors hitting. Seat 2 has 15 vs K and should hit too. Seat 3 has blackjack.”

   “Round 14: I also get a clearly negative Hi-Lo count, about -14 running and true count about -4. No edge, betting 5.”

   “Round 14: I get Hi-Lo running count about -13 from roughly 139 cards seen, about 3.3 decks left, so true count is about -4. No edge, betting 5.”

3. Claude Sonnet 5.5 · #356

   “Seat 1 has hard 10 (6,4) vs dealer K. Hitting per basic strategy, since doubling 10 is only right against 2-9. The count is negative, so the shoe is low-card rich and there is no edge. Bets stay at 5.”
