Case study: Splitting 66v3 or not @ RC7 Double deck

[aceside]

I am more interested in the hand 3,3 vs 2 and another one 6,6 vs 2. If they are against a 3, I alway split when DAS is allowed.

Im virtually positive that I posted a reply about your continued disinformation. Can’t imagine for a second what happened to it.

Pretty sure I attached a link to Kelly’s Heroes - something about negative waves.

There is an identical thread in the disadvantage forum.

Splitting 66s v 3 is technically the right play most of the time but you should be aware that even at RC0, there are deck compositions where hitting, or even doubling down, is the better mathematical play.

The question here however could be stated like this. Is it worth not splitting 66s v 3 early in a rich deck with the objective to maintain a high count?

After Covid-19, many blackjack games have become uncountable anymore because casinos raised their table minimums. This has put the AP business in jeopardy. As a result, I am pondering of converting myself into a poker player. Who cares about 6,6 vs 3?

How does raising the table minimum make a blackjack game uncountable?

There are a couple of reasons. Economically, many APs cannot afford playing such an expensive game anymore for a reasonable profit. Many games have a minimum bet of $15 or $25 now, this means you have to prepare to lose $3000 to $5000 each session. Mathematically, I leave this as a puzzle for you to figure out. Also, human errors will cost more when have larger bets.

The first part linked to RoR makes sense but not the math part. Cards are always countable unless they come from CSMs.
