Blackjack 6-7-8 Basic Strategy Cards

[elias001]

Hi Folks

As the title stated, I want to ask if anyone here has used Blackjack 6-7-8 Basic Strategy Cards developed from Hal Marcus. The strategy cards were discussed in the December 2003 issue of BJ insider news letter: http://www.bjinsider.com/MemberLogin.php3; titled: Counter Basic Strategy & Double deck games. I am not sure if they are included in the latest from Casino Verite. The strategy cards were used in the 3rd edition of Vancura and Fuchs Knock-out blackjack as their new rad strategy. It is something in between rookie and preferred with a few modified basic strategy entry changes. Also, since BJinsider don't sell the cards anymore, I am having trouble finding them. Thank you in advance.

If you already use deviations for your system, why would you need this?

@DSchles I managed to find a republication of the article here: https://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/gambling-with-an-edge/new-basic-strategy-for-counters/?srsltid=AfmBOoprk-S8UqGsqLFasfjnMtf39zGY3sFRkkqVMB3S7U5i27W7T5U4. The basic strategy modifications was discussed in the latest of Vancura and Fuchs' book. I was able to find images of Marcus' three basic strategy cards for 4-8 decks, 2 decks and 1 deck for dealer hitting soft 17. Vacura and Fuchs stated that it is a camouflage strategy. i am not at home right now. I will attached the three basic strategy screenshots to this replied post after I get home. I thought people on here might know something about this Counter Basic Strategy and can comment on its effectiveness etc.

@DSchles Gronbog on Blackjack Forum clarified for me the indices i am asking about actually came from you. The article I referenced with the url link called it "sweet 16" and also "top 16" for the same set of indices. It also gave the impression that Arnold Snyder was the one who came up with it since he was the one who mentioned "top 16".
