    Basic strategy trumps the ploppy
    Index play trumps basic
    Additional info trumps index plays.
    Trump trumps Trump

    Index plays are meant, depending on situation, to increase winnings, or decrease losses. Here is an extreme additional information play (never happened)

    Your the last to play before dealer with 2 16's opposite dealer 8. You're playing halves with a running count of minus 3 with exactly 3 cards before end of deck (no cut card, but there is a burn card). Just to add flavour, your bets are max. What are your next 2 successive plays and why? Second decision is dependant. This should be interesting.

    I'll give myself a scratch, and all will be well. Meanwhile, I just got home after a gruelling 4-5 hours in the trenches of business - and I need a well deserved nap. Oh, that 4-5 hours included lunch!

    I'll solve the puzzle later.
