6 Deck Shoe Blackjack Strategy
Not that I wouldn't love to play it under the right conditions but here's my findings:
1. If more than 2 of us players are at the table, can't get in enough hands per shuffle. Always seem to be fighting too many players. I look like as if I'm playing musical chairs/tables.
2. Great if 1 on 1 but we stand out. I might as well wear a sign that says 'CARD COUNTER'. Bets change just about every hand. Gotta keep spread low.
3. Can't play very long or your just another #86. Can't get it enough playing time.
4. Boring game. Can't double after splits. They took the fun out of it.
5. Cards are usually dealt face down. Can't count until after my hand is over and all cards are turned. (I always play 1st base so I have a perfectly sized bet before each deal.)
6. Can't get an accurate count for ins cause people want to hide there cards for some stupid reason. Can't see what's all out on the table. Sometimes people on opposite side of the table have pairs of face cards. They show up after I get sucked into wrongfully buying ins.
With a shoe, I have none of these problems. Takes a lot more patience though. Gotta be able to count fast and accurate too.
If I'm missing something special about single deck, somebody please hit me over the head with it. Let me know what it is! I think double deck is a little better though.

- The odds against the player in blackjack do not change when an automatic shuffler is used on the table to shuffle the multi-decks of cards. If the casino were using 6 decks of cards, they will usually deal 4.0-4.5 decks and then place the entire 6-decks into the automatic shuffler for shuffling while continue to play with the second set of.

The most common game of blackjack is dealt out of a 6-deck or 8-deck “shoe” (a plastic, card-dispensing device). Single and double deck games are still alive and well but not all casinos that have blackjack will have single and double deck so the “shoe games” are a little more common. The following table shows the effect on the player's expected value by removing one of each given card from a six-deck shoe. These numbers were based on these rules: Double on any two cards, double after split allowed, split anything only once, and strategy adjustments for the changed deck composition.
