I don't really know where this is offered and how often anymore, but I just was playing BJ and thought of this. Many people choose to wong out when the count drops to really negative counts. Would it be beneficial to stay around in these counts if the rule was in effect? If I knew a lot of low cards were left in the deck, should I try and win this way or would I just be chasing extra money that I really can't get?

five low cards raise the count
Depending where you are in the deck a hand of 5 low cards will raise the count. By the time you are at the end of the hand you may be back in a positive count. The best thing you have accomplished is that you consumed all the bad cards for the dealer and the rest of the table! To get a 5 card charlie and the count still stay negative, every other card on the table must be a ten or pic. Possibly even the dealers twenty, two ten cards!

Correct 5-cardC strategy is worth about 1.1% at 0-count. zg
