Ac/Dc counting headaches?

[blackchipjim]

I wondering how many counters out there use different counting systems for different games. I have had to learn a balanced count for one game and a unbalanced for the other. My brain is telling me to use one for both because the switch is too confusing and errors may be occuring too frequently. I use Tko and started using Hi-lo for another game but the difference may be too great. Does anyone switch back and forth between other systems and how do you keep yourself straight in the process. blackchipjim

i use AO2 on pitch games and Zen on shoe games.
fortunately the indices and betting ramps that i use are basically identical between both systems, so theres no confusion there. additionally, both are TCs. all i do is retrain my brain to work with one count or the other for about a week before i swtich from one game type to the other (ie block out the 9 or the Ace depending on the system).

i imagine your predicament is a little harder since one of your strategies is balanced/TC and one uses unblanaced counts. not sure how your indices vary between the two systems but i hope TKO is similar to HiLo for your sake. retraining your eye to estimate discards should only take a day or two, depending on the resolution you estimate to.

I use KO for BJ and HiLO for Sp21. I thought it would be tough to go back and forth, but it isn't. Once in a while I catch myself counting a 7 in Sp21, and I just back it out.

I think I too tired on the second go round of sp21 my brain was fried. I got my butt kicked and didn't make any friends at the table either. I think I may have to practice hi-lo alot more before trying it live. The indices for the two are quite different in my oppinion so I'll try again at a later date. I might end up just switching to hi/lo for ease of use and accuracy and then I'll just have to remember strategy indices for the games not both. blackchipjim
