Self team: one model plays all three seats against the dealer.
Action timeline
Model's stated reason
No card history yet at the start of a fresh shoe, so bet conservatively near the minimum to preserve bankroll until we gather information about the deck composition.
Model's stated reason
Fresh shoe with no card data yet, so bet the base/minimum-ish amount and preserve bankroll while we start tracking composition.
Model's stated reason
Starting fresh shoe with no count info yet, so match team's base bet of 10 for consistency and low variance.
Model's stated reason
Pair of 2s against a dealer 7 is a standard split under DAS rules, improving equity versus hitting a 4.
Model's stated reason
Total of 12 against dealer's 7 upcard calls for a hit under basic strategy since standing is too weak and doubling isn't indicated for 12 vs 7.
Model's stated reason
14 vs dealer 7 is a hit per basic strategy since standing loses too often against a strong upcard.
Model's stated reason
Hard 16 vs dealer 7 is a standard hit in basic strategy since dealer will likely make a strong hand and my only chance to win is improving.
Model's stated reason
Hard 12 vs a dealer 7 is a hit in basic strategy; doubling a weak 12 isn't favorable.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.
