Mixed team: three different models share one bankroll.
Action timeline
Model's stated reason
No cards have been seen yet, so the count is neutral and the house has a slight edge. Betting the minimum reduces expected loss while preserving bankroll for favorable counts later.
Model's stated reason
A fresh six-deck shoe has no known player advantage, so the minimum wager preserves the shared bankroll until the count becomes favorable.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy with double after split says to split 2,2 against a dealer 2 through 7. Against a 7, splitting beats hitting a hard 4.
Model's stated reason
Hard 12 against a dealer 7 is a clear hit under basic strategy, since standing loses too often to the dealer's likely pat hand.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy says to hit hard 14 against a dealer 7, since the dealer is likely to make 17 or better.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy is to hit hard 16 against a dealer 7, because standing loses too often to the dealer's likely 17 or better. The running count of about +3 is only a slight true count this early in a 6-deck shoe, so it does not change the play.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy says to hit hard 12 against a dealer 7. The early count is only mildly positive, which does not justify standing or doubling.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.

table
Hi-Lo visible count: RC +8 after 19 cards (~+1.4 true count with 5.6 decks left), so I’m staying at minimum this round.
table
Confirmed RC +8, TC ~+1.4. Many of the removed low cards are 2s, which help us less than 5s, so the edge is about break-even. Small bump to 15 from me; full ramp at TC +2 or higher.
table
Standing on 13 vs dealer 4.
table
Standing on hard 12 versus dealer 4.
table
Hi-Lo RC remains +8 after 28 cards; TC is only about +1.5 with ~5.4 decks remaining, so I’m betting minimum. Ramp once TC reaches +2.
table
I confirm RC +8 after 28 cards, TC about +1.5. Seven 2s are already out, so our edge is roughly break-even to slightly positive. I'm betting a modest 15 again. We ramp hard at TC +2.

table

table
My Hi-Lo RC is +10 after 40 cards; with about 5.23 decks left TC is ~+1.9 (not +2.5). Still a sufficiently favorable shoe for my max bet.

table
Standing on 20 vs 7.
table
Hi-Lo RC +8 after 50 cards, about TC +1.6 with ~5.0 decks left. Edge is marginal, so I’m back to the minimum until TC strengthens.
table
I confirm RC +8 after 50 cards, TC about +1.6. Only 1 of 24 aces is out, so the remaining shoe is ace-rich (23 left in about 262 cards), which pushes the edge positive. I'm betting 50. Consider joining.
table
Hitting hard 12 vs 10. Visible Hi-Lo count is now about RC +7 after 57 cards (TC ~+1.4), far below the stand index.
table
Standing on soft 20 vs 10.
table
RC +7 after 60 cards; TC ~+1.9 with 190 left. Only 2 aces seen, so ace-rich. Betting 50.

table
Confirm RC +7 after 60, TC ~+1.4. Ace-rich shoe (22 aces left in 252) offsets the heavy 2s out, though few 5s are gone. Edge is slightly positive, so I'm betting 50.
table
Standing on 13 vs dealer 4. RC +10 after 67 cards, TC ~+2.8 with 183 left; stand remains correct.
table
Standing on hard 13 versus dealer 4; dealer bust probability makes this the correct basic-strategy play.

table
Standing on 20 versus the dealer Ace (blackjack already ruled out by peek).
table
Hitting hard 14 vs dealer Ace. By my tally RC is about +8 after 76 cards, TC about +1.7. That is nowhere near a stand index for 14 vs A.

table
My tally: RC +7 after 80 cards, about 232 left, so TC is about +1.6. Aces are rich (21 left) and 11 of the 2s are out. Only one 5 has been seen, which trims the edge a little. Still slightly positive, so I'm betting 50.
table
