Default Two Cover Plays in Black Jack.

Playing a big bet spread at blackjack, want to throw the pit off that you are counting?

Two cover play tips:
1) Never hit 16 vs T. Basic Strategy says hit, you should always stand. When the count is high and you have big bets, it is correct to stand on 16 vs T. When the count is low, 16 vs T is a very close play, you aren't giving up very much in EV, and you aren't betting very much anyways.

2) Always take insurance. When the count is high and you have big bets, it is correct to take insurance. When the count is low, you are betting very little, and you are only making 1/2 of that bet for insurance.

So the pit is wondering if you are lucky or counting? Well here is a guy who is always making the sucker insurance bet, and doesn't even follow basic strategy with 16 vs T.
