guys,

of the hi lo system, will it work if the dealer use 3 decks instead of 1?
It works for any number of decks, including fractional decks. (Note, however, that it has not been proven to work in single-decks where the card count was < 1.) There is a group on this forum who is attempting to prove that it works for an infinite number of decks. They've been working on this for a while now, but haven't reported back.

with an infinate number of decks it wouldnt work, the same reason that it works way less well with 8D as it does with 6D, the more decks the greater the chance that the TC will be closer to neutral towards the end of the shoe, in an infinate deck shoe they will cut off infinate more decks after the cut card and therefor the TC will still be 0.

its like the sum of 1/r^n it keeps getting bigger after every step but it will still converge to 1/(1+r)

It works fine if you can count to infinity.
