Action timeline
Model's stated reason
A fresh 6-deck shoe with these rules has a small house edge, so the minimum bet minimizes expected loss until the count favors us.
Model's stated reason
A fresh six-deck shoe has no count-based edge, so the minimum bet minimizes expected loss while preserving bankroll for favorable counts.
Model's stated reason
Pair of 2s vs dealer 7 is a basic-strategy split. The exposed count is only mildly positive, so no deviation needed.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy says hit hard 12 vs 7; the count is only slightly positive and not high enough to justify standing.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy dictates hitting hard 16 against a dealer 7; the running count is only slightly positive, not enough to deviate.
Model's stated reason
Running count +6 over about 5.7 remaining decks gives a true count near +1, which is roughly break-even. A slight bump above the minimum is fine.
Model's stated reason
The running count is +6, but the true count is only around +1 early in a six-deck shoe. A small increase above minimum is appropriate.

Chat onFresh shoe, neutral count. Betting min until the running count (Hi-Lo) goes positive; let's ramp up bets when true count >= +2.
