It is the right play in certain deck compositions or with the knowledge of cards better than most counters have. You might notice he got a 4 or 5 to his 16. You need to think more like a shuffle tracker or maybe like Tarzan Count. Of course traditional simple counting won't have you do this. It never has more than a rudimentary sense of what is coming. More advanced play may tell you differently. The shuffle tracking computer said to do these things regularly. When they checked the cards coming it was definitely the right play for the next few cards. At the tables those that are competent at something easy often think advanced bet moves and plays by those that are using more advanced techniques are stupid. Of course they are actually the ones that are wrong most of the time. They do the best with the information they have but have minimal info on the deck composition or what cards are about to come out of the shoe. More advanced techniques would tell you much more useful information. More and better information is always better if you know how to use it. That said, the cards coming out after his decision would have busted him, 9 and T. I would be more likely to be convinced e was tracking the cards played to base his decision on if they were a lot of low cards added to the dealers 6. Two of the three cards after he singled a hit were high cards.JohnCrover said:Literally the first play he made was to hit a 16 vs a dealer 6. -_-
