Blackjack Announcing Swashbuckling 4

The basic strategy for S17 blackjack contains four "wimpy" plays to some. Players are supposed to surrender when dealt 16 vs. 9, 16 vs. 10, 16 vs. A or 15 vs. 10. Is surrender always necessary? No!

If you don't like to surrender all the time, here come the Swashbuckling 4!
The Swashbuckling 4 will earn you more money from card counting in addition to earning you some grudging respect from the table.

Based on Moraine's book titled AceMT for Blackjack and Spanish 21, Moraine complies four deviation indices and recommends that you hit, instead of surrender, at the negative true counts shown below.

 

Question:
As I see it, Swashbuckling 4 come into play only at negative true counts. Any surrender deviation indices for hands under positive counts?

Answer:
Sure, there are many, many more. Some of them have been included in the so-called "Fabulous 4". Except for the hand of 15 vs. 10, the other three of the Fabulous 4 (15 vs. A, 15 vs. 9, and 14 vs. 10) are for hands under positive true counts.

As a matter of fact, deviation indices for many more frequently encountered thorny hands under positive true counts should also be KEPT IN MIND. Here are a few:

8-8 vs. 10, 16 vs. 8, 14 vs. A, 14, vs. 9, 13 vs. 10 . . . . Any one wishing to find those hands' corresponding deviation indices should consult with Stanford Wong's Professional Blackjack or Moraine Mono's AceMT for Blackjack and Spanish 21.
