KO 9-9 v 2 clarification

[golfnut101]

KO basic strategy calls for splitting 9's v 2. So does this mean you stand on this play when you reach the pivot ?

i don't use KO, but the idea is extendable to any count system. as the count goes up, you WANT to split more with 9,9s, as this is an offensive type of split. so on the contrary, when you reach the pivot point for 9,9 vs 2 you should definitely be splitting those pair of 9's...

Where'd that come from?

KO basic strategy

I can't imagine that BS would change simply because of which count you're using.

Seems to me at a high count you'd be even more likely to get a T or an A to go with your 9, so why would you?

making sure

Its in the book.

Its in the book.

BS does not change based on your counting sysem, it changes based on the rules of the gaem you are playing (# decks, DAS, DOA, Sur, etc). If I recall correctly, the KO book presented some type of blended basic strategy which is not 100% precise for any specific game.

Still, splitting 9v2 should definitely be done when you reach the KO pivot point...

On what page?

The generic BS chart on p. 28 in my copy says split 9-9 v 2.

 

[golfnut101]

Yes, thats what I am saying. Basic chart says split. So, when you hit your pivot, does this mean to stand on 9-9 v 2, as this is in category A.

Sorry

 

[golfnut101]

meant to quote p. 86 as per category A

 

[21forme]

On p. 86, column A, 9 v 2 means you should double at the pivot point. It has nothing to do with 9-9 v 2.
