UAPC Soft D vs. Wong Soft D

I opened up my old Professional BJ by Wong just for fun last night and noticed they dont suggest doubling A2-A5 vs. 3 at any count.

Now according to my trusty UAPC indices we find this favorable at 4, 4, 6 and 6 from top to bottom.

Is this just another one of those inexplainable discrepancies we find in this endeavor?

Someone must be right and someone wong here, no?

I am by no means anti-Wong but just wonder about this difference. This is a pretty major difference and it will occur fairly often at least at TC 4.

Farily Often is Fairly Rare

My updated Pro BJ has these indices in the back. I also think the older one does in the back?

They are not worth much. No soft double is in the catch 22 fab 4 and TC 4 does not happen that much also. Learn them if you want, not worth much.

Griffin, Wong, Snyder and Schlesinger I don't think mention them in importance.

Thanks for the feedback I was just curious, I would not want to be without them I know that but you might have more experience than I.

Did you really have to break out the whip?

A/8 vs. a 5 or 6 are in the catch 22, and should be doubled at +1 TC or higher.
The big difference with soft doubles comes when you get beyond A/5 -- to A/6 and above. That's when your chance to make a completed hand with one hit reverses from 38% -- to 62%.

They were the additional ones. Thanks for the correction

Herein lies another dilema for the meticulous mindset. How can the UAPC for the 5 and 6 Mr. Renzey sites be at +3. I could understand double as my tags are 1223221-1-3 perhaps just rounding errors like a tolerance buildup?

I jump on the A8 v 5 or 6, one of my favorites. Makes me feel cool but;; when HI-LO is one-third the index value of UAPC could you shave off .3 or .5 from the UAPC index and find it to be the correct move in most cases. I dont count to the tenth but I know when I have a solid TC3 or it is a little shakey.
