A little story to help explain why you might not play this game

It's in a basement, I'd guess illegal game... But the guy hosting it is clueless about counting advantages, that is why the rules are good. ex: he has no idea cuting only 10 cards is so much better for a counter. The rest of the rules are just the same as the east cost rules, but the 4 deck is also good. minimum 1 dollar, you can bet probably around 300$ max bet.
I have this very old friend who till recently was in the business of collecting money owed for people who tended not to use paperwork when giving loans.
I am also in a business where sometimes one person in that business will legitimately owe another person a large sum and be in at best a temporary cash crunch.
So a person in my line of business comes to me and asks about my old friend and if my friend could collect some money owed to him. The person asking is an honest businessman who can not seem to collect the debt owed to him and this may be an extreme request for him. I tell him my friend will be here tomorrow.
The next day comes and this guy explains the situation to my friend, who listems with a very serious look on his face. When the explaination is over, my friend looks straight at this guy and in an extremely serious manner says to him, "yes, I can collect every cent owed to you but how would you collect it from me once I had it?"
It was his deadpan way of saying to the guy, do not get envolved with me or my kind of business, and that is my advice to you.
