newbie: backbet or open box
In Australian shoe games, each box can have 3 bets in it. The front bet makes the play decision.
My question is how many box should I play when there are 1 (or 2) other basic strategy player at the table. That is I have the choice to open more box and therefore eating up more cards, or backbet other player and sacrifies the gain from variation play.
I use hi-lo.
Thanks.

Interesting question. I think you will lose too much by forfeiting the right to make all play variations, simply to avoid opening one more box. Play your own hand!

Zele: Re: backbet or open box
When the front bet splits a pair, are you obliged to put up an extra bet as well, or can you opt to play only one of the hands? If the latter, I understand you can get an off-the-top advantage (assuming good other conditions) if you act as a BP behind a teammate who is putting up the front bet. The technique is detailed in Ian Andersen's _Burning the Tables in Las Vegas_.
