I'm a little bit scared of TC conversions because I have to estimate to the nearest 1/4 deck for a 2-deck game.
Quick cheat: For DD games just compare the cards in the discard tray to the cards in the dealer's hand. If they look about equal then you can start using the RC as TC instead of dividing by 2 for the TC conversion. It certainly helps to be able to use more accurate TC conversion (dividing the RC by 1.5 decks or multiplying it by 0.75), but it is not necessary.
In DD games I often do my deck estimates based on the cards in the dealer's hand instead of the discard tray. I always thought it was a dead giveaway when a player looks at the discards. Why would a BS ploppy ever do that?
Only a card counter would.
