Recently I had this memorable shoe, especially the last two hands that cost me almost $2500. Want to know you guys' opinions.

The rules are 6 decks, S17, LS. There are four players at the table. I am using Hi-Lo with a twist that does not affect RC, TC and the general Hi-Lo play in this case. Note that the casino seems to use ASM to sequence the cards since it is often to have -35 or +35 RC in the middle of the shoe then swing back to almost 0 in the end. And ace clump is common. Anyway in this particular of the shoe, the last two hands are like this,

RC is +13 (dropped from +28 two hands ago), 7 aces rich, 1.5 decks left. I have face card pair, dealer up card is 3.

Since TC is +9 already even without the rich ace adjustment, I split and get 6, stay, get another face card, split again, get 7 and 10. Dealer drew cards to 19. I lost two and won one max bet. The net is one max bet loss.

The next hand I have a pairs of 7 against up card 2. RC is +11, ASC is +8, 1.25 decks left. I split accordingly. Get an ace. Double, get an 7. Ouch! Get another A , double, get a 10. Dealer draw 4 cards to 19. I lost four max bets. He would have lost if I doubled my first one but stayed on the second hand. That 10 would bust his hand. If I did not double at all, I would have just lost 2 max bets as dealer got my first 7 to reach 19.

Will you play like I did, especially the two double on A7 against 2 when TC is +8? Or split the ten's against 3? Considering not only TC is way higher than the requirements but there are extra 7 or 8 aces to help. Basically the shoes only played 10 aces and had 14 aces behind the cut card.
