    Last Hand to be played before the Shuffle

    Hi Guys,

    Need your help regarding to the following scenario:

    1. Show Game, playing hands up, with no special hit.
    2. Last hand to be played before the shuffle.
    3. Count equal or above the pivot point (+4 Hi-Low).

    The Questions is: how many boxes, would you consider playing?

    Wong in his book, "Professional Blackjack", talked about splitting the bet between as many boxes as you can, but i would like to know if someone made a study of how many boxes would you consider playing correlating with the actual count in the last hand ? is it to complicated to analyze ?
    or it is not so important ? or just follow the basic 75% percentage equal to 2 hands ,56% equal to 3 hands etc...

    Perhaps Don Or Norm, or some of the more experience players can help me on this one.

    I hope i made myself clear.
    Thanks guys

    Doesn't matter as long as you bet optimally. Since it's the last round card eating isn't an issue, but you'd better be sure it's the last round. The only other ancilliary issue is whether you think it will attract undue heat, but if it's the final round and you're leaving anyway and you're already betting your max bet then I don't see any real issues, just remember spreading to 3 hands from 2 hands (or 1 hand) is still horizontal spreading, not much of a heat magnet on shoe games but can be very heaty on pitch games.

    Make sure you have enough chips to cover any possible splits or doubles.
    Beware the fury of a patient man.
