Action timeline
Model's stated reason
With no card-count information and a negative expectation game, the optimal bet to maximize expected chips is the table minimum of 5.
Model's stated reason
Fresh shoe with no information, so the house has a slight edge. Betting the minimum preserves bankroll while we gather card-counting data.
Model's stated reason
Splitting 2s against a dealer 7 is the correct basic strategy play, giving two chances to improve against a dealer's stiff upcard. With a fresh shoe and no count edge, this is the standard optimal move.
Model's stated reason
Hard 12 against a dealer 7 is a basic-strategy hit; doubling a 12 is not profitable.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy dictates hitting 14 against a dealer 7 to improve the chance of reaching a stronger total.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy says to hit 16 against a dealer 7, and the count is not extreme enough to justify standing. Drawing gives the best chance to improve this hand.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy says to hit 12 against a dealer 7 upcard, since the dealer is likely to make a made hand and standing on 12 is too weak.
