Card counting- do we still use the basic strategy when count get high??

Answer 1

You should, it is not neccessary, but taking advanatge of the count and applying it to how you play your hands will win you extra money, wich is a good thing. The most important change in playing strategy is taking insurance.

Below i will list the deviations i use in casino play, they are relevant to multideck and the dealer standing on a soft 17, and doubling after splitting allowed using the hi/low 2-6/A-10 level one system

Insurance +3.1 on all hands

16vs10 0+ stand

16vs9 5+ stand

16vs8 8+ stand

15vs10 4+ stand

15vs9 8+ stand

11vsA 1+ double

10vs10 4+double

10vsA 4+double

9vs2 1+double

9vs7 4+double

8vs6 2+double

8vs5 4+double

A8vs6 1+ double

A8vs5 2+double

A8vs4 3+double

A8vs3 6+double

A9vs6 5+double

A9vs5 5+double

A9vs4 7+double

A2vs4 3+double

A3vs4 2+double

10,10vs6 5+ split

10,10vs5 5+split

10,10vs4 7+split

9,9vs7 4+split

9,9vsA 3+split

7,7vs8 2+split

12vs13 2+stand

12vs12 4+stand

12vs4 -0 hit

12vs5 -1 hit

12vs6 -0 hit

13vs2 -0 hit

13vs3 -1 hit

10vs9 -1 hit

For psoitive numbers, the True count need be at or higher for the new play to be correct, for negetive numbers the TC need be at or below the number for the new play to be correct.
