thank you in advance

That's the count I use, and have some info for you:

Hi Opt II Count Advanced Play Flash Cards for Single Deck Games
http://webhome.idirect.com/~blakjack/1deckho2.htm

Hi Opt II Count Advanced Play Flash Cards for Two Deck Games
http://webhome.idirect.com/~blakjack/2deckho2.htm

Hi Opt II Count Advanced Play Flash Cards for Multi-Deck Games
http://webhome.idirect.com/~blakjack/flashho2.htm

You can just learn the Multi Deck indices and use them to keep things simple. If you only play 2 deck lets say in the deep south, then you can stick with the double deck ones.

Take a look around my site while you are there.

thx Rob.

I play a 6 deck game, S17/DAS,DOA, poor to fair pen.

Are your indices for Hi-Opt II (multideck) right for these above rules?

[BjFool]

forgot to mention that the dealer has a hole card, i think this would change the indices chart..

 

[Rob McGarvey]

Yes

Multi-deck is good for 6 deck. That is the number of decks I used to create these indices with Strategic Blackjack Analyzer

 

[Rob McGarvey]

Hole Card

These indices are for games with the dealer hole card. There is also a no hole card set at the same site for multi-deck.

Re: Hi-Opt II -NOT

BJF, you would likely be best served to NOT learn HO2, which has been somewhat antiquated since mid80s (see ASnyder BJF'82, KUston Uston on BJ'86), despite its recent resurgence and apparent high SCORE - RPC, ZEN, UBZ2, BRH-0, Half7s, and other single-parameter level-2 systems will out perform HO2 UNLESS HO2 is overlayed with an Ace-secondary count: A-2 v 2/5+1 (eg, a simple estimate of Ace-desity per qtrD will NOT retrieve the full potential strength of HO2 and will leave you working harder with out commensurately extra gain). zg

many missed indicies

but I guess it depends on who you go to,many different books
and different web sites differ on bs too.Key pros for db deck say
for ex.

a9,5= 6 or higher
9,9,7= 6 or higher
8,8,10 stand at 8 or higher
a2,4 double 7 or higher
9,2=db 2 or higher
8 ,6=db at 3 or higher..way off compared to yours ..

Re: many missed indicies ANYONE...

... who in this day and age would even show you different i#s for diffent #decks is SUSPECT to begin with. zg

 

[Rob McGarvey]

Re: many missed indicies ANYONE...

The indices were produced using Karel Janeks SBA 5.0

Is he a suspect?

------------------
NO just YOU are for running different i#s for different #decks. zg

Re: Hi-Opt II -NOT

I completely agree. For shoes, especially, you want a single parameter system.

??

9,9,7= 6 or higher
this is not one of the "Terrible Twenty" indices in my book
I can produce every indice, but stuck to the most highly profitable plays ala Donny S with his Ill 18

8,8,10 stand at 8 or higher
this is not one of the "Terrible Twenty" indices in my book

a2,4 double 7 or higher
you mean 12 v 4? +1 this indice is around +1 for every type of count, including the high low, and the III level counts in my book.

9,2=db 2 or higher
9 vs 2 +2 in my book - same

8,6=db at 3 or higher..way off compared to yours ..
8 vs 6 +6 which is on the high side. SBA also produces numbers like:

+5 -0.15224235
+6 +0.15282373
+7 +0.44383384

to inform you of your advantage on each hand that is run thru the millions of tests to create these indices.
