I use ko. In your post on 3/27 you said that ko is better in 1-2 deck games. Were you saying better than hi-lo in 1-2 deck games, or better than ko in 6-8 deck games?
Also, as I understand it, more indices need to be learned for single deck. Are the indices in the ko book(preferred and full) correct for single deck?

Thanx Alot

KO gets weaker as the number of decks increases. Don Schlesinger's Blackjack Attack 2nd ed gives all the details of the relative worth of various systems in various games (you should get it, it is an incredible book). Hi-lo is marginally stronger than KO in single deck/double deck, but MUCH stronger than KO in 6/8 deck games.

E.G. the strategy matrix on page 85 -- this is for all numbers of decks because it is based on the pivot point, which varies with the number of decks.

Take care,
