Relatively new player here. I am having difficulty picking a card counting system and sticking to it. Every new book I read seems to push the Hi-Low balanced count system. The first book I read on the subject of counting was Blackjack Bluebook II by Fred Renzey. He recommends an unbalanced approach and introduces a three stage Kiss count. (Stage 2 is very similar to the Hi Opt balanced count) I am looking for recommendations. A system you like and how you drilled yourself to learn it. Thank you in advance.
Need help picking a card counting system?

Are you the Tripod from "Brandywine's War"?
The Korean conflict had "M*A*S*H". World War II had "Kelley's Heroes" and "Catch 22".
Irreverant comedies on war.
Vietnam had "Brandywine's War". One of the characters was a dog named Tripod. Tripod had his left rear leg blown off by a land mine. As if that wasn't unfortunate enough, poor old Tripod had always previously lifted his right rear leg to pee.
The result was that after having his left rear leg blown off, he now fell down every time he tried to pee. The final result was that he never peed anymore.
For your first counting system, I recommend KO if you are simply going to count as not much more than a hobby, but pick Hi-Lo if you have any ambitions toward team play or advanced methods like shuffle tracking.
