Is OPP any good?

[Reachy]

Hi

Just learning to count and wondered what the concensus (if one exists of course) was on the OPP count as outlined on Arnold Snyders website? Certainly easy to learn and do but is it worthwhile?

Cheers

The OPP count will give you an advantage. The advantage is significantly lower than you get with High-Low or KO. If KO is too hard for you then I guess OPP will have to do, but I just can't imagine KO being too hard for anyone who has the faculties to play BJ in the first place.

I think that's a good writeup and completely on the mark. I've seen one similar to it before that came to the same conclusion. Less risk with BS and a BR that is too small.
