The level-3 beheemoth...
...that the Robster just discribed is neither practical or nor more powerful than the standard HO2 - Uston said of his own Ace-neutral/level-3 'UAPC' "its obsolete" (Uston on BJ'86) - of course I may be mistaken because I haven't compared exhaustive sims of these McGravey hybrids - no pro in the world would use them, and no novice should consider them. zg

Learning from the level-3 beheemoth
I myself backed off of the Uston APC with it's 3 level count and stuck with Hi Opt II and have refined it ever since. All of these counts work, but what is most important to me is what we can learn from the effect each count has on the bottom line. Example: Hi Opt III, Uston APC, no matter, gets you into the game and out of it if you are wonging out. You can do the same thing by dropping out at -1TC with Hi Opt II instead of -2TC, and bet slightly more during + counts to get the exact same effect as these higher level counts can.

Almost. You add +2 to the RUNNING count for every extra ace. If you have a two-deck segment with five aces in it you would add +2 to the running count before you convert to true count. Likewise if there were only three aces you would subtract 2.
