If count is plus 3 you should stand. If you know the two remaining cards are an Ace then the 3rd card is a 8 and it would be in the hole. If the Ace is in the hole, you're screwed.
The RC is -3 with exactly 3 cards left, including the burn card. You are playing halves. What MUST be the 3 remaining cards. What is your optimal play?
