Ace Sidecounts for Hi-Lo

I would love to hear any/all views/advice about counting aces with Hi-Lo and Ill 18. Things like...how you do it...some of the advantages...play variations, etc.
 
It helps insurance most

An Ace sidecount can increase the insurance efficiency of High-Low quite a bit You end up treating the Ace like a low card for insurance purposes, forgot all the details. Probably worthwhile if you want to use High-Low and if the sidecount doesn't distract you from doing anything else.

On the other hand, if you are experienced enough to effectively use a sidecount, you're experienced enough to use a stronger count than High-Low and your effort might best be expended there.

hi-lo with side aces

I have seen this Q come up alot lately. If you want a side count
I recommened just using hi-opt 1. You have fewer cards to track and
you get the benefit of the side count. Moreover the Ill 18 are similar
so you don't have alot more to learn. Find it in "The Worlbs Greatest B.J. Book"
