Well first I learned HI-LO and "mastered" it. After i read several articles about KO I bought the book, studied again and trained myself to make it 100 % and not just slopy.

Honestly (and ok I don't have 100k or even millions of $$ as a BR like MIT BJ Team), I don't see any differences in gaining advantage using HI-LO vs. KO but KO is way easier and more relaxed to play and I can act way easier as a person who never played BJ before, I can talk to my buddy during play.

Does anyone has different or similar things to mention about HI-LO vs. KO?

I heard that KO and Hi-Lo are so close that playing 62 minutes of KO will earn the same as 60 minutes of playing with Hi-Lo. So if you can play a little faster or a little longer with KO, then they are pretty much equal.

I think that is assuming you're playing KO-Preferred using the recommended BS departures. So you should learn them if you want your EV to be close to Hi-Lo.

Hi,

yes I will memorize the departures. I just got a PM from you telling me warmly to learn it.

KO might be more accurate depending on the amount of errors you might make in deck estimation and converting to true count. It was one of the reasons I switched from Hi-Lo to KO. I always rounded to a full deck when I used Hi-Lo so I must of lost some accuracy.
