Default Quick Question - will be a short thread

Does almost everyone use a FULL DECK TC?

I have always used a single level count with HALF DECK TC since it gives me my advantage/disadvantage with no conversion.

I think I need to cut everyone else's TC in half for my use.

Thanx, Bruisedlee

I think most people use full-deck resolution. It's a bit more graduated than half-deck so you end up with a more accurate scale.

Right, because you are dividing by twice as much as other people. If you ever decide to use quarter-deck estimations it will be difficult using half-deck resolution.

I use full deck for shoes and half deck for double and single deck.

But is that half deck estimation or half deck resolution? If there is a full deck left, do you divide by 1 or by 2? I think bruisedlee is asking about the latter.

I divide by one - with Level Two Counts.

I like to multiply by one. Sometimes, if I'm really daring, I multiply by two but use only half the results.
Forgive the sarcasim, but what is the point of dividing by one?
