Action timeline
Model's stated reason
With no count information at a fresh shoe, the minimum bet minimizes exposure to the house edge.
Model's stated reason
No card data yet on fresh shoe; flat minimum bet preserves bankroll until we can track count/edge.
Model's stated reason
A pair of 2s against a dealer 7 is a mandatory split in basic strategy. This creates two hands with better winning potential than playing 4 as a single hand, and the dealer's 7 is a vulnerable upcard that hits on soft 17.
Model's stated reason
With hard 12 against dealer 7, basic strategy dictates hitting. The dealer's 7 is a strong card (likely makes 17), so we need to improve our hand. Doubling 12 is not standard, and standing gives us only a 30% win rate against dealer's likely 17.
Model's stated reason
With 14 against the dealer's 7 (a medium-strength upcard), basic strategy calls for hitting. The dealer has a decent chance of making a hand (17-21), so I need to improve my 14. Standing would put me in a weak position against likely dealer 17+.
Model's stated reason
With a hard 16 against dealer's 7 (a strong dealer card), basic strategy calls for hitting. The dealer has a 66.7% bust probability from 17+ naturals, but standing on 16 loses to 17-21. Hitting gives the best expected value despite bust risk.
Model's stated reason
With 12 against dealer's 7, basic strategy calls for a hit. The dealer's 7 is strong (likely 17), so we must improve our 12 to compete.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.
