Hi,
I am fairly new to counting an play an 8 deck shoe with a 1.5 (sometimes one deck with the right dealer) cut, DAS, up to 3 splits allowed and double on any 2 cards.
I normally Wong in at a TC of +2 using the Hi-Lo lite from Arnold Snyder's Blackbelt in BJ book.
Today I Wonged in with a RC of +19 and 9 half decks remaining to be played giving me a TC just over +2, with 6 players at the table including myself. After winning that hand, the RC was +13 with 8 half decks remaining.
This brings me to my question. I had figured my TC to be just over 1.4 with the rc of +13 and 8 half decks remaining to be played. I now know after breaking out the calculator I had a TC of +1.625. Of course after the 2nd hand was dealt, the dealer had an A showing. I knew to take insurance at a TC of +2, but decided against it as the TC was exactly 2. Of course, the dealer had a BJ.
So should one round up when figuring the TC? If so, do you round up only if the tc is above the .5 mark? or the .75 mark?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Steve
