I mostly play the I-18 plays ( minus the splitting of 10's against 5,6) but recently tried to learn and implement more indexes at DD games. The problem is that it's really difficult when playing with others, especially bigger bettors at table...
As an example, I have a $25 chip, others playing chunky Green or Black, the count is TC -5, I get a 13, dealer has a 5 and the call is to hit but if you do and as a result the dealer does not bust, the others at table lose, they are cursing at you.
Another example, I have a $25 chip, another is playing 2 Black chips, TC is -5, I have a 14, the dealer card is a 4. Play calls for me to hit. I hit and get a 10, bust, dealer has a 9 under his 4, gets a 7 and the ploppy loses $200.
Whatdo you do? Do you opt to not go with the indexes since it's a marginal play and it's more important to keep the ploppies at the table (less heat measures since ploppy is losing)?
