Can a six deck with bad pen be counted as a 4 deck.

That's kind of my point. Unless you are really good a visually tracking packets, forget about any tracking. I've read George C's book on Shuffle Tracking and it is almost completely map based tracking. Not something i'd recommend.
For the most part the smaller the section you track the less likely it is to be split, so i find tracking against female dealers who are more likely to take 1/2 deck grabs preferable, but as i play mostly against 1 pass shuffles this takes much of the strain out of tracking. 2 pass shuffles make the whole operation a lot more tircky and a lot less profitable.

Agreed, there is a sweet old lady at the Luxor who has a nice shuffle. Red chip table yet one can raise the table Max if your players card has some points. She likes to talk about horses. Cough..Cough.. The only way I have beaten her is through ace sequencing.

See, i haven't encountered a dealer yet that i couldn't beat with some sort of tracking, but as i said before this is because of where i play. I have no doubt that my success would drop off if i was to hit vegas at the moment and that i'd have to search a lot harder to find a good game.

You hit Circus Circus at the right time, you can clean house.. Its not all that different than what you are experiencing.

Well it's encouraging to hear that playable games are still to be found that can be beaten with the stronger techniques. I do intend at some point in the next few years to take an extended trip to vegas if for nothing else than the experience, but that has to wait for the convenient moment lol.

Does someone have any idea the kind of EV you'd be earning if you played an 8 deck game as 8 one deck games with 100% pennetration and a very practical 1-20 spread?

I'd have to guess it would be astronomical. It would be time to quit your job, let's just say that.
