You’re at a 6-deck blackjack table with a true count of +3, and the dealer’s showing a 6. You’ve got a 16, and basic strategy says to stand, but with the count in your favor, you’re tempted to double down. You’ve got enough chips to do it, but you don’t want to draw attention from the other players, especially with a regular high roller at the table who’s eyeing you. Do you stick with basic strategy and play it safe, or take the chance and double down, knowing you’ve got the edge without tipping off the casino? How do you handle it?

The eye in the sky isn't just watching the high roller, so don't.

You’re doubling a hard 16, let alone when the count is positive?

Why are you playing basic strategy if you know the TC = +3... ?
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

Your post doesn't make sense. If there are language issue.

You aren't supposed to double a hard 16 vs. 6. For a soft 16 vs. 6 you should double but there is no debate or risk of problems by doing so and a +3 count doesn't make a difference on that decision.

I'm trying to figure out what you maybe meant to ask but am not getting anywhere. Did a bot write this?
