What is the "Magnificent 7" + Fab 4 Question

[clouds]

Hello fellow CCers,

I was wondering what "Magnificent 7" is all about. I have searched around but have not come across what the 7 hands are. All that I've found out is, "Renzey’s "Magnificent 7" shows you how to deviate from basic strategy for 7 "close" hands and reduce the casino’s edge."

I am using Hi-Lo and incorporate it with the Illustrious 18 and Fab 4. Is "Magnificent 7" necessary to learn for me or do the former two suffice?

And for the Fab 4: Do I only surrender 14 v. 10 when the TC is +3, because in the Basic Strategy it says to also surrender. A clarification would be much appreciated!

Thank you for all your help, it is greatly valued!

No, the "Magnificent 7" is for the no counter, if u use HiLo u must play with the count.

I agree with daniel27 that if you are counting you do not need to concern yourself with the Magnificent 7.

But to answer your question, here's an article by Renzey that contains a brief description of it: Blackjack Player Asks, "What's After Basic Strategy?"
