so my local casino uses 8 decks, H17 around 70% pen for both blackjack and spanish blackjack/australian pontoon. i just noticed however that the dealer burns 6 cards after every shuffle, 1 card after the dealer gets his cards and another card after all players get their cards which is basically 2 cards per round. is it still possible to get an accurate count?

Excess burn cards have no effect on the count.
They are similar to the undealt cards.
I.E. 70% penetration with excess burns is similar to about 60% penetration without all those burns.

I would not attempt these games unless I had thoroughly read and understood Katerina Walker's book "The Pro's Guide to Spanish 21 and Australian Pontoon."
