Well now, after reading 102 post with the last 70 or so being bullshit back and forth about each other (you guys should get a room), it is surprising to me that no one offered the OP the solution of going to the the six deck game and Wong until (back count?) TC+2 and bet $100 behind three players. I am not sure how much influence he will have on their playing decisions but certainly keeping them to basic strategy might be doable.
OP has about 5K bank (6500-1500 loss) so treat it as a hail mary and fire away. BTW, this type of play will give you about 12-15% of the rounds that are at or above TC+2. In a full game running about 60 rounds per hour that means you can expect about 7 - 9 rounds with the opportunity you want. Risk of ruin will be high but that must not have mattered or he would not have won the 6500.
The 8 deck game is a money trap that will break you, avoid it.
