Action timeline
Model's stated reason
First hand of a fresh 6-deck shoe has no counting edge and blackjack has a small house edge, so the minimum bet preserves bankroll for later positive-count spots.
Model's stated reason
Hi-Lo running count is +3 on 11 seen cards, true count about +0.5 with ~5.8 decks remaining. Per team plan TC <=+1 bets minimum.
Model's stated reason
Hi-Lo running count is +3 from 11 seen cards, true count about +0.5 with ~5.8 decks remaining, so per the agreed plan bet minimum when TC <= +1.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.
