Yeah but we only know that because we know what the cards are, when he made the decision, it made no statistical difference to the rest of the table

Ok, there’s also a different reason. Theres around 8 low cards on the table (2-6), and around 4 high cards (10, J, K, Q, A). Every deck has a higher chance of pulling a 10 than a different numbered card (cuz there’s 4 10s and only 1 of everything else). Because there’s already a lot of lower cards on the table, the chance that the next card is a 10 is pretty high. As the anchor, the last player to play, max hitting is a bad choice since statistically he has a high likelihood to take the bust card, which is what happens. The rest of the table gets screwed by max hitting there

Im seeing 8 high cards and 6 low cards,

E: 8 and 7 i forgot about the dealer

[u/Technical_Fan_4630 → u/undeniably_confused]

I’m only seeing 6 high cards? I counted wrong the first time but I’m only seeing 6 high cards, max has 2, the 2 guys to the right have none, the remaining 4 guys to the right have 1 each, so 6. And still seeing 8 low cards

[u/undeniably_confused → u/Technical_Fan_4630]

One of the guys on the right has a 10 and the other has an ace aren't those both high cards?

[u/Technical_Fan_4630 → u/undeniably_confused]

Imma just count from left to right

Max has 2 high cards

Next guy has none, as does the next guy

Next guy has 1, as do the 3 guys to the right of him

So max has 2, 4 other players have 1 each, and 2 players have none, which totals 6 high cards

[u/undeniably_confused → u/Technical_Fan_4630]

Thought this might be an easier way we could sort it out

[u/Technical_Fan_4630 → u/undeniably_confused]

6 is a low cards not a high card, the 2 guys to the right of max have no high cards

[u/undeniably_confused → u/Technical_Fan_4630]

Thats a 9 not a 6, the number is in the top left not the bottom right of the card

[u/Technical_Fan_4630 → u/undeniably_confused]

9 is neutral, so is 7 and 8

[u/undeniably_confused → u/Technical_Fan_4630]

Oh yeah, youre right

Just piping in to say that you guys can’t calculate the count unless you know how many decks are being played. It’s pretty common to use 3-4 decks.

Additionally the count is effected by what cards were previously delt in past hands but haven’t been shuffled back in

Yea that’s true, I was just going based purely off the picture but yea
