When you play at a 6-8 deck shoe, which counting system do you regularly use? You can just vote or vote and explain why.

If you pick "6. other" please state which one you use.

1. Hi-Lo
2. K-O (only use running count)
3. K-O (with true count)
4. Zen Count
5. Red Seven
6. Other

Either Kiss III or Hi Opt II with a "fuzzy" Ace SC (stole that from Sagefrog) :laugh: Trying to figure out which one I want to stick with permanently.

Actually, I changed my mind.. After doing further research and sims will start learning Felt-F or RPC. The best games in my area are 6D's. They seem to outperform Zen in the 6D games I play with a 1 to 12 spread.. and a little easier to use because more of the tag values cancel each other out. Plus I like the higher BC for shoe games.

Thanks

FELT/RPC has a higher betting correlation (which it trades for a lower playing efficiency) than Zen, which makes it slightly better for games with more decks. It is also slightly easier to use since ten's and ace's have the same tag: -2 (which also leads to more cancellations as somtum mentioned).

Hi-lo

If ur just beginning like me and still practicing i would go the high low count practice untill u pretty good then go on to the most difficult counting methods.

I'm using hi-lo with a very limited amount of shuffle tracking (NRS formula) when the opportunity presents itself. Honestly though, I'm still new so I've got my hands full just trying to keep the count accurately, so I only mess with tracking some of the time. I'm working on it though!
