Question Mentor ?

Hello, in the page 209 there is a table with the index numbers for Mentor , my question is , that table it`s valid for SD and shoes? and if I run a Sim with CVindex or other software only for shoes should I get a more accurate table?

thanks in advance

Are you asking, that if you were to generate indices using CVindex, will they be more accurate than the one printed in the book?

And yes, you can use one strategy for any #of decks and rules. Note however, if you generate indices with specified rules and number of decks in mind, they will by nature, differ from the ones printed in the book, especially if a compromised strategy was used, even with the same deck resolution. Resulting in greater accuacy.

BUT your EV will be the same, regardless. So don't bother. See ZGI. zg

CVIndex is the only generator that I know of that will generate according to the exact method used by Mentor to calculate true counts. That is, using a specific table of multipliers. So, yes the indexes are likely to be more accurate. But as zg says, it won't make much difference in shoe games.

I already done this, and using CVDATA i get an SCORE 21% better (comparision beetwen the old indices and new ones) of course only for I18 and Fab 4, this was a 2 days work.
thanks all for your replies
