I'm currently studying playing deviations. It says to stand on 16 against a 10 when the running count is positive. Can anyone explain why you wouldn't stand on 16 against any dealer card showing when the running count is positive? It seems like if the odds of staying on 16 are better when the running count is positive, why not stay on any dealer up card?
thanks!

You're no more likely to bust hitting 16 vs. a 7,8,9, or 10. But you are more likely to take the risk of hitting, make a hand, and still lose, when playing against a ten.Originally Posted by Oushavinge
If a 7 is showing, you're like 1% behind if you catch an ace, winning if you catch a 2, and crushing if you catch a 3, 4, or 5.
If a ten is showing, you're crushed if you get an ace, losing with a 2, barely winning with a 3, and only solidly winning if you catch a 4 or 5.
The Cash Cow.
