Fresh update: Disaster! I had what I thought to be the juiciest shoe I had yet seen at a casino. The running count got up to +18 and stayed between 14-18 for about 8 rounds from 2 decks remaining in a 6D shoe at my local casino. There were only 2 of us at the table at the start but suddenly 2 more jokesters sit down on my right. And As I'm putting out my max bets I'm taking 13, 14, 15 and busting every hand while the rest of the table is getting the good stuff. The player who had been there the whole time is still betting minimum but at least one of the 2 newcomers is betting heavily. I don't know what would have happened if they hadn't sat down but it still pissed me off and I started to get suspicious about their motivation in sitting down at that particular moment. I felt like the table belonged to me and they stole all my cards... I'm probably thinking superstitiously but it brings me to another question:
Say I'm playing at a table of maybe 6 people. Should that alter my betting strategy? I mean, Doesn't a TC+1 playing alone and a TC+1 with 6 people playing seem a little different?
