  "ch1.s2": "You don't play against Lena or Rocco — only against me, the dealer. Closer to 21 than me wins. Over 21 loses instantly.",
  "ch1.v7": "Number cards count their face value. This seven is worth 7.",
  "ch1.vK": "Jack, queen, king — all the picture cards count 10.",
  "ch1.vA": "The ace is special: it counts 11, or 1 if 11 would bust you. That flexibility makes it the best card in the deck.",

  "ch2.s1": "A real round goes: you bet, I deal everyone two cards, I get one face up and one face down. You decide, then I reveal.",
  "ch2.s2": "Here's the part beginners miss: I have no choices. 16 or less, I must hit. 17 or more, I must stand. House rules, printed on the felt.",
  "ch2.q1": "I'm showing 16. What am I forced to do?",
  "ch2.q1.choice": "Dealer's choice",
  "ch2.s3": "Payouts: a normal win pays 1:1. A blackjack — ace plus a ten-card on the deal — pays 3:2. A tie is a push and your bet comes back. Watch this round; you bet 20.",

  "ch2.rocco.comment": "For the record: hitting 18 is donating chips. Rocco knows. Rocco doesn't care.",
  "ch2.q2": "Your blackjack paid 3:2 on a 20-chip bet. How many chips profit was that?",
  "ch2.wrap": "Bets, dealer rules, payouts — done. Next: the four special moves that separate players from tourists.",
  "ch3.s1": "Four tools beyond hit and stand: double down, split, surrender, insurance. Each exists for a specific spot. Each gets one drill.",
  "ch3.double": "Double down: you double your bet and get exactly one more card. You use it when the math is heavily on your side.",
  "ch3.double.go": "You hold 11. I show a 5 — my second-worst card. One card to you, double the money on the table. The chart screams for it.",
  "ch3.split": "Split: a pair becomes two separate hands, each with your original bet. Great for eights and aces, terrible for tens.",
  "ch3.split.go": "Two eights is 16 — the worst total in the game. Split them and each eight starts a fresh hand against my 6.",
  "ch3.split.h1": "First hand. 18 against my 6 — keep it.",
  "ch3.split.h2": "Second hand, same picture.",
  "ch3.surrender": "Surrender: you fold the hand and keep half your bet. Sounds weak — it's just math for the few truly hopeless spots.",
  "ch3.surrender.go": "16 against my 10. Long-term you lose more than half a bet playing this out. Wave it off and save half.",
  "ch3.insurance": "Last one. When I show an ace, I'll offer insurance: a side bet that I have blackjack. It costs half your bet and pays 2:1.",
  "ch3.insurance.stand": "No blackjack this time — and you hold 19. Keep it.",
  "ch3.wrap": "Double, split, surrender, insurance — you now know when each exists. The next lesson tells you exactly WHEN: the basic strategy chart.",
  "ch4.s1": "Every combination of your hand and my upcard has one mathematically best move. All of them fit on one chart — basic strategy.",
  "ch4.s2": "Nobody memorizes it in a day. You learn the patterns: stand on 17+, double 11, split eights and aces, never split tens. Take a look.",
  "ch4.chart.title": "Basic strategy",
  "ch4.chart.sub": "Rows: your hand. Columns: the dealer's upcard. The letter is the move. Rules: 6 decks, dealer stands on soft 17.",
  "ch4.chart.go": "Got it — drill me",
  "ch4.d1": "Drill 1: you hold 16, I show a 10.",
  "ch4.d2": "Drill 2: you hold 11, I show a 6.",
  "ch4.d3": "Drill 3: soft 18 — ace and seven. I show a 9.",
  "ch4.d4": "Drill 4: two nines against my 7.",
  "ch4.d5": "Drill 5: you hold 12, I show a 3.",
  "ch4.miss": "Chart says {action}: row {row}, column {col}. The tricky ones sting once, then they stick.",
  "ch4.real": "Now a real hand, no training wheels. I judge every decision against the chart — the result doesn't matter, the decision does.",
  "ch4.wrap": "That's basic strategy. Played perfectly, the house edge drops under half a percent. The full chart lives below this table, in the guide — bookmark it.",
  "ch5.s1": "Final lesson. Card counting — legal everywhere, hated by pit bosses, and much simpler than the movies make it.",
  "ch5.s2": "The idea: a shoe rich in tens and aces favors YOU — more blackjacks, more dealer busts. A shoe full of small cards favors me.",
  "ch5.s3": "Hi-Lo tracks it with three numbers. Small cards 2–6 count +1. The neutral 7, 8, 9 count 0. Tens and aces count −1. You just add as cards appear.",
  "ch5.qcard": "What does this card count in Hi-Lo?",
  "ch5.stream": "Now keep counting — five more cards coming.",
  "ch5.qrun": "Eight cards down. What's the running count?",
  "ch5.true1": "The running count alone lies in a six-deck shoe. Divide it by the decks still left — that's the TRUE count, the number that matters.",
  "ch5.qtrue": "Running count {running}, {decks} decks remaining. True count?",
  "ch5.bet1": "Money follows the true count: at +1 or less, bet your minimum — one unit. Above that, bet (true count minus 1) times two units, capped at 8.",
  "ch5.qbet": "True count {tc}. How many units do you bet?",
  "ch5.insurance": "One bonus rule: at true count +3 or higher, insurance flips from sucker bet to good bet. The only time you'll ever hear me recommend it.",
  "ch5.real": "Let's play a hand. Count every card you see — I'll quiz you after the round.",
  "ch5.qlive": "Round's over. What was the running count for everything dealt?",
  "ch5.wrap": "That's Hi-Lo. Keep practicing in free play — from now on I'll judge your insurance calls against the count too. The table is yours, counter.",
  "login.title": "Take a seat — what's your name?",
  "login.sub": "Your table name puts you on today's global leaderboard. Every correct decision earns XP, and the board resets at midnight UTC. No email, no password.",

  "login.joined": "Welcome to the table, {name}!",
  "ch1.q2intro": "You hold 16. Now watch — you take a card and this happens:"
