Hi Opt 2 question

[laserjet]

I believe without the ace side count, the playing efficiency is .67 and the betting efficiency is .91. What are they with the ace side count? I can't seem to find it here or by googling. Thanks for your your help.

take a shot

The side count for hi op is used in betting. Halves is .99 BC with different tags. Hi op has similar tags; with side count, to those with a .94 to .97 BC.

The side A count makes hi op the best.

Halves is the strongest count without side counts and just below hi op.

HIOPT II with ace side count count has a BC of .99. I am not sure what the PE would be for the ace adjustments. It mostly affects your doubling decisions on hard 9,10 and 11 and your soft doubles. My guess would be about .7 for the PE. That may be a hair generous. It also raises the IC from .91 to .93.

Thank you gentlemen. I searched high and low :laugh: last night and couldn't find the answer. Somewhere there is a chart showing all the stats with and without the aces, but I can't remember where.

Comparing systems

The chart I have that I think is best for comparing systems shows the sim (6 deck, 76% pen, S17, DAS, DOA, no RSA, and no surrender) results for each system for play all and wonging. The columns are EKB, DI, N0, unit bet, EV/100(SCORE) and SD/100. It also has % played for wonging. Hiopt II with ace side is the best in every category. It does have the highest SD/100 but with the highest SCORE and lowest N0 that is really meaningless.

Does anyone know where that chart is that shows BE and PE for different counts with and without ace side counts? I've been thinking about this til my head hurts.

P.S: High -Opt II with ace side count for betting is by far my favorite counting system for pitch games, it is really the bestest of all. For shoe games Hi-Lo is the best especially if you are planning to use more advanced techniques.

-They only used the ace side count for betting in the chart. It can increase IC and PE as well.

If you use HO2 with a secondary count of A vs. 3 and 6, the BC becomes exactly the same as for RPC, because the count is exactly the same as RPC.

Thanks to everyone that replied. The gaps in my knowledge are slowly closing.
