Default Poll on counting strategies

It would be interesting to know what counting strategies most people actually use. I'll be the first to start. I use KO

I started with Hi-Opt I and used it for about 3 months, then used Hi-Opt II for about 6 years before switching to Zen this year.

Great poll! Personally, I only use hi-lo, seems to be the jack of all trades in regards to accuracy and it does very well from SD to 6D. My mind cannot handle more than one type of system.

KO.

A question like this would be better served with a poll that tallies the results...

Coincidence - I also played Ho2 for 6-years before switching. Do you feel compromised in the least with the simpler ZEN? zg

Not at all. My play has become faster and more natural. I'm very happy with the switch.

Default I use the hi low count

I use the easy hi low count counting 2,3,4,5,6 as plus 1 7,8,9 as 0 and 10,aces as minus 1. I move my bet up and down with these counts.
