Okay JVer.
Firstly, I wouldn't play 6/5 with your money. I'm that nice of a guy. An example of bad variance is spreading to two hands with large bets - facing an Ace; getting an 11 on the first hand and 20 on the 2nd. Of course, insurance is taken with a high positive count and it isn't a BJ. Now you get the last Ace in the deck to go with your 11. The dealer flips over a 6 and draws a 4. So you lose 4 hands that started with two. That's bad variance. It happens.
But when a dealer continues to have a ten under the Ace time after time, even in a negative deck, I'm thinking he can find a ten in the deck whenever he chooses or sees an Ace up. You do understand there are 16 tens in a single deck of cards right? Any idea how often all 16 get played? Very rare in 6 rounds of straight up play. But when it looks like crap, smells like crap, don't eat it...it's crap!
I'm not saying paranoid is good but it's better than a backoff which stifles any chance for profit. However, there are things worse than a backoff like not getting a fair game which leaves little or no chance for profit and likely substiantial loss. At least you remain even with a backoff.
So you're spreading 25 to 1 in a pitch game and not getting or expecting heat? Something smells.
