Ooops, not thinking before typing. Yes 4, the lower the number of decks the more the true count values "contract" relative to the RC which is more conservative. You mean 0? 0 = +4 -3 = +3 -6 = +2 -9 = +1 -12 = 0

So, In a 6 deck game: I think I see 1.5 decks played and the RC is -12 Treat that as 5 decks played and therefore TC1?

Hi Taff, I have played a few sessions now with TC conversion and the I18 that apply to ENHC. It's early days but indications are good and can see it provides a good protection envelope to over estimation and I have picked up a few spots early that I would have previously overlooked, i.e. TC1-2...

Due to another thread in this forum i am drilling the discrd tray. At what point does it seem senisble to crossover to the next decks remaining value down - half way through each deck? (this is only for 4 and 6 decks games) e.g. 6 deck shoe. First few cards dealt = 6 decks remaining After...

Yes, absoultely. I am not looking to pile it in at the first sign of improvement. The lack of being able to (safely) double with 10 vs 10 and 11 vs A and 10 vs A must be costing us something significant at high counts. I've been doing the deck estimation count drills using the TC conversion...

Right, got it. Consider ramping from TC 0. TC 0 is a function of the converted KO RC so abstract example -13 with 5 decks remaning = approx 1.5TC So, again it's back to what indices I use (and train for) and as you pointed out we count the 7's so I18 maybe off but as a starting point. You...

Been looking at this overnight. Don't want to force a square into a circle, solve one problem, break something else. This seems a good start: Adjust IRC to 24 as suggested. Re-learn / drill KO Full with adjusted count values (CV drills on my phone good for this - notice you can offset the IRC...

Thanks, off to do some research and practice so if the thread goes dark for a while that's why. Will report back!

Right. I am going to need to go a practice this. I have KO counting down super fast but I need to factor in this conversion calculation etc. but it looks like at the start of each hand I just need to decide the X number of decks remaining so I have the KO to true multiples in my head, then as...

This is interesting. I will need to practice this of course. Since I am going to be doing 4 and 6 decks games I need to have something that works for both in the absense of published indices for 4 decks game. So what you are saying is do the KO count and convert to true with the less...

So my eyeball was close. Good so I can use these (just to be clear this is using the standard IRC number and not your offset one!?) Going back to the original question in relation to 4 decks here I have transcribed all the full matrix plays that I believe are availble to me and their associated...

Ok. I am aiming to follow the full matrix instead of preferred as a way of getting a little bit more edge during poor counts. Regarding the number of decks left I increase/decrease bet ammounts based of a decks left but only in a very abstract way. There is another thread on here somewhere with...

OK, so in standard KO IRC what they are saying is start standing on 16 vs 10 at -8 instead of -4. That's quite a big difference, most shoes float around 0 to - 12 once they get going.

I thought the pivot point is +4 when both KO and Hi Lo converge and -8 is a long way off that. From my understanding in the book the Key Count (which you may have been referring to?) where the equal number of cards occurs I thought was at -4 for 6 decks (from page 86 attached) and then they...

I am glad you thought this was a bit odd. I was coming to the conclusion if the shoes is rich enough to stand at 4 then how does the full or more comprehensive matrix have you keep drawing all the way up to 10! Maybe it's a typo. For reference and other people reading this thread I have...
