Is there any reason not to use KO over Hi-Lo in 6 deck games?

Count per 1/4 deck on 2 deck games.

A 1/4D TC, right?
I'm sure you don't change to different indices when you play 6D, right?
Therefore you use 1/4DTC at 6D also, correct? ZEN'98?

I ran a sim comparing the two using the same conditions, and Full 6 deck KO had a very slight advantage in SCORE as Complete Zen (with top 22 indexes) on 6 deck

How many indices did full KO have??
And was the sim using ZEN'83 or ZEN'98? zg

Oh sorry no, not 98 zen but 83 zen - so therefore it's not 1/4 DTC, it's 1DTC.

I thought you were talking about True Count Resolution. I forgot about 98 zen.

Yes I compared Complete Zen (that's what it's called on casino verite) with KO

Okay, you passed the TC test..:laugh:. but I am sure that something is off if KO is beating ZEN at 6D. zg

They weren't that far apart.

Comparing Zen w/ 22 indexes with Full KO 2 deck on a 2 deck game, zen w/ 22 indexes comes out way ahead.

I never noticed how effective KO was compared to Hi-Lo - it has a better betting correlation and the same playing efficiency. I always assumed unbalanced counts were inferior to balanced counts and never gave them any attention.
