Action timeline
Model's stated reason
Fresh shoe with no count, so the house edge makes the minimum bet the highest-EV choice until we see cards.
Model's stated reason
Fresh shoe with neutral count offers negative expectation; betting the table minimum of 5 chips.
Model's stated reason
Pair of 2s vs a dealer 7 is a split with double-after-split allowed, which this ruleset permits; it beats hitting hard 4. The Hi-Lo count on the 9 seen cards is +3 (true ~+0.5), mildly favorable, so splitting is safe at the minimum bet.
Model's stated reason
Hard 12 vs dealer 7 is a mandatory basic-strategy hit; standing wins only when the dealer busts (~26%). The count is neutral (RC 0 over 11 cards), so no deviation is warranted.
Model's stated reason
Hard 12 vs dealer 7 is a standard hit; standing loses more against a likely dealer 17-20.
Model's stated reason
True count is only about +1, a small edge, so a modest step above the minimum is better than a full ramp while still using the positive count.
Model's stated reason
RC is +7 with ~5.7 decks remaining (TC ~+1.2). Stepping up to 10 in sync with Seat 1.
Model's stated reason
True count ~+1.2 gives a slight player edge, so a modest ramp from the 5-chip minimum to 10 is justified while keeping variance low.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.
