Tarzan Count
I didn't even know there was a NAME for my count until recently when I demonstrated it for Flash. All this time I thought I was original with my ultimate counting system that I have used for years, which has proven incredibly effective.
It's technically known as the "DHM System" and the ultilization of this counting method, combined with "the amazingly illustriously luminous 50 or so" that go with it are what I swear by. This counting system has given me astounding results. Maybe someday I will explain it or talk about it at length. I raised Flash's eyebrow's a bit when I talked about it and did a little counting demonstration, etc. The let down came when told my amazing system is not unknown and is commonly known as the "DHM System" and not the "(myname) System". I have worked with this meticulously for years to come up with percentages on the various index plays and it has really paid off.

Cherry7Up,
Pages 62 and 64 of "Blackbelt" has a short blurb on The Advanced Red Seven Count, in addition to a few paragraphs on deciphering the strategy charts. Page 63 has the tables. For all shoe games, there are 17 indices, but they should only be used in the second half of the shoe; the primary half-dozen strategy changes should be utilized in the first half of the shoe. Commit these 17 indices to memory; believe me you'll be glad you did.
Eighteen indices for DD are also listed on page 63, which also apply to SD. These can be applied at any point in the pitch game. An additional fifteen indices exist for SD, for a total of 33 . . . I know it sounds like a lot but believe me if you play a lot of SD it really does become second nature. Good luck!

Hi-lo
I played hi-lo my first three years, then played Revere Point Count for 18 months and now am back to Hi-lo. I guess I am one of the few people that "downgraded counts". Hi-lo good enough for me. Simple, so frees my mind to observe other things happening around me and strong enough to make money on the 6-8 deck games that I play most.
