How useful it is if you are able to see and do a running count of 11-15 cards out of a single deck pack before you act with your hand ?
I am mainly interested in what deviations may arise from the basic strategy at certain counts and how much lowers the house edge ?

Yes, normal BJ rules, one single deck, reshuffled each hand, and 5 players at the table. Lets say the HE is 0.5% with that given rules.
Where can I find an optimized strategy chart for specific counts ? And if a player use the optimized strategy, what will be his win % ?

Quote: sodawaterIn "Burning the Tables," Ian Anderson describes a "depth charger" who bet each spot on a 7-spot single deck game, 100 in first base, 200 the next seat, all the way up to 700 in 3rd base. That was enough to give him an edge even playing one hand per shuffle.
In OP's case, it's even better, because he doesn't have to bet on the early hands.
I would also recommend Professional Blackjack for the playing deviations.
I think you are talking about the player called Speed. The article was in Blackjack forum,but I think he was being dealt more than one round.

It was definitely in Burning, but the story probably showed up other places as well. As described by Andersen he was quite a character.
