When Dave made it so clear that you shouldn't deviate from basic strategy, did anyone ask why not?
For example, I am a great believer in deviating my playing strategy from BS based on True Count. I do not presume that I know more than the MIT team, but I am just curious about how they justify not using indexes.
Also, I split when the count goes negative, but I would never double. It seems like a big waste to double when a small card is more likely to come up. Did Mike or Dave say anything about doubling down in negative territory?
