How to play 7 player tables well?

[tribute]

A six deck shoe game almost always will let you double down on any two cards not just 9-10-11. Losing your soft doubling option is a bad choice for you especially when you have to contend with six decks. Second a full table on a shoe does not swing the count all that much because you are usually dividing the count by 4-5-6 if you where playing a single deck game with 6-7 people the counts might run extreme. But what is wrong with counts running extreme? In my opinion abosulutely nothing because extreme in your favor is good.

I am extremely confused.

...I don't know if you really wanted a full comparison of the two, but I think of all the games in the casino, BJ and Poker are the best as far as they are the only two games I see where you can have an advantage based upon your skill level...

I know what you mean, but I think to be accurate you have to modify that a bit- in poker you may have an advantage based on your skill level. Or you may be walking up to a table full of players just like you or better, and you will be playing negative EV. At least with BJ I know exactly what I am getting into before I even head out to the casino.
