A couple of index questions for Hi-Lo H17

I need 2 indices and for some reason can't find them. I'm booted in Mac and don't really want to fire up CV just to look at the indices. I know the index for surrendering 88 v T is 2 for S17 games, right? Well, I'm having trouble finding the index for the H17 game. Also, I'm reading that the index for surrendering 17 v A if the TC is less than or equal to 1. So if the TC is 2, you should stand in a H17 game? This seems counter-intuitive to me. I know these things have a way of being so, but I wanted to double-check. It seems like it would be more desirable to surrender 17 v A as the count goes up!

As a side note: say I've compiled a list of 32 or so indices. How would one go about finding out how much value I'm getting out of these? For example, if the Illustrious 18 gains around 90% of your expectation from the complete indices, how can I find out how my 32 indices will fare in comparison?

CVData will tell you.

Yeah, I was just hoping to avoid that route as I haven't tried using CVData yet. Guess it's time to suck it up and give it a shot.

LS>=0

As the count gets higher,Dealer A's bust rate also gets higher.Not much,but every bit helps.

Only way to find out is run sims.
Run a sim with your 32 indices,then run another one with the same setting only add more indices,let say 60,then compare the two.

P.D.
