True if playing unrated. However, if you follow optimal betting rules, play rated, have developed a good act and play short sessions, are aware of the presence or lack of heat, you can definitely violate the rules you mentioned. I routinely play a 6 deck game playing $10 on one hand, TC reaches +2, followed by act, I go to 2x$20. If count goes up, it's 2x $50, if count tanks, take a phone call, return the next round with $10.
no hard fast rules.
hey, hey, no disrespect implied to anyone but my impression was that there were no hard and fast rules, that you guys have probably violated that rule a few times. Am I wrong? Even at low stakes red chip play with no heat, you would not risk doubling your bet plus some?
ZeeBabar, in your case I would not give it a second thought. You could have two max bets out of a $150 each and receive a soft thirteen and a soft eighteen with the dealer showing a five up card, and double the soft thirteen, and then stand on the soft eighteen, because you did not want to risk $600 all at once.
