Blackjack Team Play table

Seat 1 betting 25. Let's keep it steady early and adjust as the shoe develops.

I'll bet the minimum; with no shoe information, keep exposure low and coordinate on counting later.

Seat 3 betting min 5. Fresh shoe, no count edge yet. Proposal: Hi-Lo count (2-6 = +1, 10/A = -1), bet min when true count <= 0, raise 5 chips per +1 true count. I'll post running count each round.
