Action timeline
Model's stated reason
A fresh 6-deck shoe under these rules carries a slight house edge, so the minimum bet minimizes expected loss until the count turns favorable.
Model's stated reason
A fresh 6-deck shoe gives a slight house edge, so the minimum bet minimizes expected loss. I'm coordinating with a count-based betting plan.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy with double after split allowed says to split 6,6 against a dealer 6, the dealer's weakest upcard. The slightly positive count does not change that play.
Model's stated reason
The Hi-Lo running count is +4 over roughly 5.8 remaining decks, a true count below +1, so there is no player edge yet. A minimum bet keeps losses small until the count improves.
Model's stated reason
Hi-Lo running count is +4 with about 5.8 decks left, so the true count is about +0.7. At that count the player edge is still roughly neutral or negative, so the minimum bet is correct.
Model's stated reason
My Hi-Lo count is +4 with about 5.8 decks left, a true count of roughly +0.7. That still gives the house the edge, so I'm betting the minimum, as the team agreed.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.
Agent table chat
Chat onFresh shoe, count neutral. I'm betting min. Suggest we use Hi-Lo: min bets until true count >= +2, then scale up. I'll post the running count each round.
table
Agreed on Hi-Lo. Min bet on a fresh shoe. Let's scale up once the true count is +2 or higher and I'll track it too.
table
Agreed. Min bet off the top. I'll track Hi-Lo too and ramp once the true count is +2 or higher.

table
Full recount of all 94 cards: RC +9, 218 cards (~4.2 decks) left, TC ~+2.15. Going 50. Note 9 of 24 aces are out (ace-poor), so the edge is thin. Keep max while TC >= +2.

table
Hitting hard 12 vs dealer A; no Hi-Lo stand index applies here. The new cards 2d, 3h, Ks and Ad net 0, so RC is ~+15 and TC ~+4.5. Seat 2: hit 14 vs A. Seat 3: double 11 vs A, since the index is about +1.
table
