so my friend and i have been playing arround with the idea of counting cards for a few weeks. i've been reading through all the faq's and such and just have 3 questions to ask 1 simple the others maybe not so.
first:
is it manditory to restart the count every time the dealer replaces the cards back into the shoe?
second:
i understand that the key to counting is first being able to use BS. but say the true count is like +6 in a 6 deck game and im looking at a 15 or 16 when the dealer has either a 7, 8, 9, or 10. is it still in my best interest to hit, knowing the odds are that i will bust? or would it be smarter to stay and see if the dealer busts?
third:
all the casinos in my area play with six decks and replace the cards back into the shoe every deck or so. is it even possible to make counting effective in these conditions? oh and just a side note these are the automatic shufling shoes.
