Ace Sequencing Question

[MJ]

When using ace sequencing which cards should the player use as the key cards? For example, if there is a table filled with cards and a player has an 3H,5D,AD in his hand(dealt in that order) and he is sitting at centerfield, would the 3H and 5D be used as the keycards for the next shoe to help predict when the Ace of Diamonds is going to appear? Or would I want to use the cards in the hand immediately to the right of the Ace of Diamonds as keycards? If my thinking is correct I believe the key cards should be to the RIGHT of the Ace because this way they go into the discard rack before the Ace but I could be wrong.

My understanding is the cards that go into the discard rack just before the Ace which you are attempting to track become the keycards. In addition, all of this assumes the shuffle is NON-random in the first place.

Thanks to anybody who can help!

cards are picked up in many different ways

You want the card (or two cards) on TOP of the ace in the discard tray, however that comes to pass.

One thing I have done is to look for blocks of aces in a shoe, and try and track their slug through the shuffle. If you are counting away, and then see a hand with 4 aces in it, stop your counting and watch carefully! The next shoe may be very fun!
