Index plays are meant, depending on situation, to increase winnings, or decrease losses. Here is an extreme additional information play (never happened)

Your the last to play before dealer with 2 16's opposite dealer 8. You're playing halves with a running count of minus 3 with exactly 3 cards before end of deck (no cut card, but there is a burn card). Just to add flavour, your bets are max. What are your next 2 successive plays and why? Second decision is dependant. This should be interesting.
Pity, no takers.
