Speed of Counting It's always a plus to practice in different ways. One card flipping at a time, two cards face up, three cards, or even spread the cards over the table. But most imporantly, use a method of practice that will check your skills for accuracy. It won't do you any good to be rabbit...

I am using Zen and Place my Max Bet @ TC +8, I believe this is very close to a 2 % advantage.

DD - Best Count I used KO against this game with a 1 - 8 spread for 18 month's! Got fed up with playing a break even game. An AP on this site suggested ZEN with RA Indices. I took his recomendation to heart and with practice and patience have finally started putting some cash in my pocket. I...

Zen, DD H17 DAS LS I'm confused as to which is the correct RA decision for the following card combinations; I've seen them listed two ways; 16 vs 10 SR 16 vs A SR 15 vs 10 SR 14 vs 10 SR ( if 7,7 ) and also listed as' 16 vs 9 SR/9 16 vs 10 SR/0 16 vs A SR/5 15 vs 10...

I learned with the 1 X 1 method and striving to count a single deck down in 20 seconds with no errors. Then I turned 2 cards at a time, then 3 card sets. I finally started practicing while watching TV, with 2 and sometimes 3 cards left out of the deck and guessing what value cards had been left...

The count system I use calls for SR @ + 1 >, OW/Split

Bet Spread DD, other players at table, beginning shuffle and negative counts, min bet. Positive Counts with 2 units start at + 1 if @ 1 3/4 DR, 1 to 8 spread, My max bet at + 5, bet 2 - 4 units @ + 1 to + 3, 5 to 7 units @ + 4. Higher units when more Aces remain, and when more fives have...

ROR Help Bets... RC 0 or < 1 unit, RC 1 - 1 unit, RC 2 - 2 units, RC 3 - 3 units, RC 4 & > 8 units. I find reason to leave the table when count drops to ( - 6 ) anytime after second round. I try and play with fewer players at the table, with DD there's generally at least three other players...

Hello, Can anyone tell me what my ROR is while playing two circles at a $ 10 min table ( over the weekend ) using a 1 to 8 spread, $ 2,500 Trip BR. DD, DAS, H17, LS, 3/2, 78% Pen. Currently KO Full w/ ILLS 18 Indices, and not playing during lg negative counts? Any information is greatly...

I agree with what your saying about the true comparisons of Real World vs Sims, but for me it gets a bit confusing when evaluating my play against the sim results that I am expecting to see. When thinking " Long Run" are we to consider it as being 1,000,000 hands played? This is where I get...

UNBZII Cont'd I guess I'm like many profectionist type players. I know the KO Full system extremely well and have memorized the ILLS 18 Indices and the correct LS plays. I would like to add several additional indices, such as 14 vs 2,3,4 15 vs 2,3 13 vs 4,5 A2 vs 3,4 A3 vs 3,4 A4 vs 3,4...

UNBZII Sim MountainMan; Thank you for running the Sim. I'm going to start practicing with the Zen Tags, would you be willing to share the Index numbers that you are using while playing DD. Do you visit the Chat room often? Smoke8;

UNBZII Sims MountainMan, "Play All" will be fine. Thanks for taking time out to do this, I really appreciate it. Smoke8

Unbalanced zen ii cont'd Hey MountainMan, advantage players seeking higher levels of play really should pursue every gain possible. I do like the performance of KO Full against DD, but, adding weight to the five's is important. Maybe not a huge gain, but it's a gain! This is why I'm so driven...

Complete Zen Does the index numbers generated from CVIndex differ from those published index numbers? Playing DD, could a player see as much as a 10% gain using complete Zen vs KO Full? Maybe we can visit for awhile during our next session. Did you have a successful weekend? Saturday night was...
