Action timeline
Model's stated reason
At a fresh six-deck shoe there is no count-based player edge, so the minimum wager best protects the shared bankroll until favorable composition emerges.
Model's stated reason
The visible Hi-Lo running count is -2 with most of the six-deck shoe remaining, giving a negative true count. Minimum exposure is appropriate.
Model's stated reason
The running count is negative with nearly a full six-deck shoe remaining, offering no player edge. Minimum betting preserves the shared bankroll.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.

Chat onFresh shoe: I’m starting at minimum and will track the shared count; please post notable count/deviation information after hands.
table
Agreed: minimum at fresh/neutral count. I’ll track visible cards and share count/deviation calls after each round.
table
Fresh shoe/neutral count: minimum bet. I’ll track the running count from all exposed cards and report it after the round.
table
Running Hi-Lo count is -2 from the seven exposed cards; hit 15 vs dealer 8.
table

table
Stand 19 vs 8. Visible Hi-Lo running count is -1 before dealer hole card and resolution.
table
All nine exposed cards give Hi-Lo RC -2 (8,Q,J,5,3,J,8,9,T); true count remains negative early in the shoe, so minimum bet.
table
Confirmed Hi-Lo RC -2 after nine exposed cards; early-shoe true count is negative, so I’m betting minimum.

table
Visible Hi-Lo count from all 20 exposed cards is RC 0 (neutral early-shoe TC), so minimum bet.
table
Hi-Lo RC +1 over 20 exposed cards (TC about +0.2 with nearly six decks remaining), so I’m betting minimum.
table
Hit hard 12 vs K. Visible Hi-Lo RC is about -1 through the 27 exposed cards, so no count-based stand deviation.
table
Stand hard 18 vs K. Hi-Lo RC is 0 through the 28 revealed cards, so the shoe remains effectively neutral.
