> Source: [Card Counting Practice with 6 Deck Shoe](https://youtube.com/watch?v=sUIMN9vTdnQ)

## Summary

This video is a six-deck blackjack simulation where the host deals cards at casino speed, allowing viewers to practice card counting. The host bets one chip per round on three spots (red, black, green) and occasionally mentions the running count. The session ends with a reveal of the final count and chip totals.

### Key Points

- **Setup and Rules** [00:01] — The host sets up a six-deck shoe with a cut card placed 15 cards from the end. Three spots (red, black, green) each start with 20 chips. The host bets one chip per round and suggests viewers vary bets based on true count.
- **Counting Frequency** [00:55] — The host announces the running count every other round to give viewers more practice time between updates.
- **First Blackjack** [02:04] — Red gets a blackjack and is paid 3:2 (two red chips for a one-chip bet).
- **Second Blackjack** [03:46] — Another blackjack for red, paid out with red chips.
- **Count Dropping** [07:48] — The host notes that the count must be dropping due to many low cards coming out.
- **Table Wins** [15:46] — Multiple table wins occur, where all three spots beat the dealer.
- **Final Round** [18:53] — The cut card appears, signaling the last round. The dealer busts, resulting in a table win.
- **Results and Count Reveal** [19:35] — Red finishes with 9 chips, black with 5, green with 4.5. The final running count is +4, with many high cards remaining.

### Conclusion

The video provides a practical blackjack counting exercise. Red was the big winner, but the key takeaway is practicing count accuracy. The host encourages viewers to share their count results and feedback.

going to put the count down here in the corner for you um I'm also going to kind of say how many decks we've counted through each time as well all right I today red black and green and I'm going to be paying out to those so it should
be at about Casino speed which is typically a little bit slower than what right anyway I have a cut card that I put 15 Cards into the back or from the most of the way through this um what I would maybe do if I was you is I would
pick one of these spots maybe red black or green and they're each starting off with 20 um chips I'm just going to be playing with one chip each today and that's how I'm going to be betting every single round you might want to have your
chips at home and kind of vary your bets based off the true Count whether it gets kind of a little bit higher um or lower you can just bet the minimum which is one chip and anyway you can uh kind of practice along that way that's what I
down the corner I'm only going to do that every other round round all right so in the past my past videos with one and two decks I've done it every single other to try to get you a little bit more practice with a little bit more

Blackjack here nope 13 that's a hit 20 stand 17 stand 15 is a hit ah 22 just barely too many okay dealer has 13
you might want to take insurance but no one's home 14 that's a hit uh first off you split sevens versus an ace no two through seven so that's just normal hit through seven so that's just normal hit ah too
17 can stand on that 17 is also a stand dealer has soft 17 um table actually says I need to stand on this okay okay the casinos I usually
go to we would hit one more time but we'll play what the table says here so these are both going to [Applause]
eight or eight and two is 10 that's a double down 16 stand 12 versus two a double down 16 stand 12 versus two a hit 15 now he can stand dealer has 12
and 22 look at that got coming on strong here at the end very here at the end very nice
maybe one more we'll see um 14 is a hit against an eight nice 21 uh eight is a hit 11 hit 20 stand seven
uh eight is a hit 11 hit 20 stand seven 14 and 18 stand on that dealer has 17 I think it's table win again there you go all right I see the cut card poking through there in the in the deck so
probably one more round here see we can do it there it is here see we can do it there it is see if there's enough for
the count do we do we split those I don't know it's probably getting closer back to zero since we're towards the end so we'll stand stand and 15 they also a has 16 can we get a bust hey he we can
bust hey he we can nice and what's more table win to end it very nice all right so before I show you the final counts here actually I guess I can give everyone their chips let's see start off
with 20 in each pile let's see who won red black or green two three four red black or green two three four five 10 15
five 10 15 20 look at that so we had nine chips for 20 look at that so we had nine chips for the
with for the black finished with five chips for the chips for the black and this one had a black jack so kind of take that into consideration there's five 10
15 and you might call this like 4 and A2 that black check that we had okay greens are 25 so I gave them kind of in between are 25 so I gave them kind of in between that so 4 and 1/2 five and nine so red I
think was our big winner but more importantly than seeing who won or lost with our av let's see if you could correctly here let's see if you had the right count what do we have
left oo a bunch of high cards that's zero one two three4 so the count would have been at plus four going into or after that last round so let me c know a couple things down in the comments one did you get the
count correct and two do you like these types of videos if so I'll keep making types of videos if so I'll keep making more until next time this is A1
