I'm trying to plan my attack on a 2 deck game. I'm proficient in counting Hi-Lo as well as Hi-Opt I. In addition I know all of the indices for Hi-Lo for a 6 deck game but does this change for a 2 deck game? For example in a 6 deck game we take insurance at +3 TC. Is that the same indice we use for a 2 deck game? Also does anyone know where I can find the indices for Hi Opt I? If they're the same as Hi-lo then I guess I wouldn't need them. Thanks for your help.

Here's a fun trick: You need a sidecount of aces for HO1. Some people sidecount them alone, other people balance them against the 2's. But you can also count them against the 2's and 7's, and what you get is KO, which is a great thing for betting. You just add the running count of the HO1 to the running count of A's vs. 2&7, no true count conversion required for the betting part. It'll make it easier and probably a little more powerful.

Hi-Opt I gets a bad rap; however, it was created with the specific intention of using multi-parameter Side Counts.
Aces and Sevens, of course, are the crucial ones.

Don't you at least want to take a look at this particular game and determine if it is even playable before altering your whole approach? AM's early scouting seems to indicate it may not be, especially at crowded tables which it will be in ac. Most others (myself not included) seem to think this game will be long gone before january is gone. I guess we shall know for sure very shortly, although I suspect info shared will become tighter. lol
Because when you add all the tags together, you get KO, which has the highest BC for a level 1 system.
Example: you are midway through a 2 deck game, your main running count is -2, your sidecount of A's vs. 2's and 3's is +4. Your TC for playing is -2, and your running count for betting is +2. You would bet the way you would bet if you were counting KO and the count was IRC+2.
