Notice that your seven is different from the eight and the nine.

This is my shoe composition for a RC = -13 and 52 cards remaining:
Shoe comp (A-T): {2.7, 5.3, 5.3, 5.3, 5.3, 5.3, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0, 10.8}

Sincerely,

I am allowing for the specific removal of one ten and one seven since that is the composition of the input hand. It would be better to allow for the specific removal of each up card individually also but I don't presently do that except for insurance where it is a given that an ace is the up card.

I then weight each possible subset of 52 cards that has a running count of -13 and compute the prob of each rank.

Code:
Count tags {1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,0,0,0,1}
Decks: 2
Cards remaining: 52
Initial running count (full shoe): 0
Running count: -13
Specific removals (1 - 10): {0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1}

Subgroup removals: None

Number of subsets for above conditions: 12
Prob of running count -13 with above removals from 2 decks: 0.0017529

p[1] 0.053838  p[2] 0.10249  p[3] 0.10249  p[4] 0.10249  p[5] 0.10249
p[6] 0.10249  p[7] 0.068502  p[8] 0.078288  p[9] 0.078288  p[10] 0.20862

Press any key to continue:
Multiplying each of above probs by 52 should result in the shoe comp before up card.

Thanks for the reply.
