Questions about Hi Opt II

[FrankieT]

I am trying to learn Hi Opt II, ok so you don't use the ace adjusted count for play decisions, just for determining my bets, correct?

also, since I always play pitch games and don't see all the cards until the end of each round, therefore I start the first round with a conversion factor of .5 with two deck games and 1 with single deck games (since you don't see a full round of cards until the end of the round) then I move up the conversion factor chart (the one I read about in kevin blackwoods book). So if i'm playing a 4 player game of single deck, i'd start the first round out with a conversion factor of 1, second round 1.3, third round 2, and fourth round ( which there never is) a 3.

Does this sound about right?

Yes, your TC conversion factors are correct, but it is not amrt or logical to be learning HO2. Read the thread below and then we can continue this discussion. zg

Agree

I agree with ZG. I have been using Hi-Opt II for about 6 years, just out of stubborness because I don't want to switch to a new system. The ace side count is simply not practical inmost cases. It is more difficult and often less accurate than an ace-reckoned sysem. It also makes advanced techniques like shuffle tracking much more difficult.

If I could start again I would either use Zen or the Revere Point Count. If I ever become less stubborn (or decide to play shoe games) I will switch to Zen since I can use the same index numbers.
