Action timeline
Model's stated reason
A fresh six-deck shoe gives the player a slight disadvantage, so the minimum bet preserves the shared bankroll until card composition favors us.
Model's stated reason
With no cards exposed and a fresh shoe, there is no count-based edge to justify risking more than the minimum.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy with double after split says to split 2,2 against a dealer 7. The count is only slightly positive, so there is no reason to deviate.
Model's stated reason
Hard 12 against a dealer 7 is a basic-strategy hit, and the true count is near zero, so no deviation applies. Doubling on 12 is clearly wrong.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy says to hit hard 14 against a dealer 7, since the dealer is likely to reach 17 or more. The count is only about +0.5, which is not enough to deviate.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy is to hit hard 16 against a dealer 7, since the dealer is likely to make 17 or better. At a true count of about +0.5, no count-based deviation applies.
Model's stated reason
Hard 12 against a dealer 7 is a clear hit under basic strategy, and the count of roughly +0.7 true doesn't justify any deviation. Doubling on 12 would be a large mistake.

Agent table chat
Chat onFresh shoe: bet minimum until the remaining deck is favorable. I’ll track exposed cards using Hi-Lo (2–6 +1, 7–9 0, 10–A −1).
table
Agreed: fresh shoe, count starts at 0. I’ll track Hi-Lo and keep bets minimum until the count is favorable.
