Same thing. A L1 count is tc+2 or tc+3, which is equilavent to +5 in a L2. I guess I should of used a L1 In my example. But of course, Im sure you know the difference. Anyway, regardless of what level count your using, the concept remains the same.
So then, what your are saying is that, its the cards that comprise 8 vs 6 is the same Index we Double on?
What If the first hand of a Single Deck game was 8 vs 6 and the RC was 0. Would you Double then? Tx.
It just seemed to me that maybe you were using a level 2 count since + 5 seemed like alot but, yes, the concept is the same. I think anyway lol.
I guess I'm saying that the index is probably what it is because, given the frequency certain hands might occur and the rules, on average, and the efficiency of the system you are using, you'll be better off on average to double than not when the index says to.
The 6,2 vs 6 thing was just an example that comp-dependent plays might still be different even though they give rise to same RC and TC.
It's impossible for the first hand of a 1D game to be 8 vs 6 heads-up and still have a RC of 0, at least in Hi-Lo. But maybe if lot's of people at the table. But if there were lots of people and still an RC of 0, I would not double since the TC had not been reached.
