You have, using Hi-Lo, a ratio of aces+tens to lows. The problem is, you know that the dealer does not have an ace in the hole, because he has checked for blackjack. So, 1/4 of your count is out the window. Also, the uncounted 7-8-9 are against you, so hi-lo will tend to give a poor index.

I'd guess the "index" would be closer to +10 to 12.

Thanks moo, yeah I didn't think through all the nuances of the exact index number. But its pretty high, and situation is rare enough, where its not even worth memorizing it, even for 16 v 10.
