Splitting tens with etc with KO count.

[steve]

I've recently read Knock-Out blackjack and want to incorporate the counting scheme.

Unless I missed it the book doesn't state when to split tens, double on A8 etc.

Does anyone know what count I should use when doing the above when starting at an IRC of -20(6 desks,DAS,H17)?

If the system does not suggest you do it, don't do it. If it does, they # will be so high it is not likley you will see it happen when playing 6 decks very often. My advice to you is to pull these plays when you want the table to yourself, or want to piss off those ploppies that like to play your hands for you.

Double on A,8 vs 5,6 at the same point that your system tells you to stand on 16 vs T. (and this is also when you would double 11 vs A, and 9 vs 2). Double A,8 vs 4 at the point your system says take insurance (you should also be standing on 12 vs 2, and double of 9 vs 7 at this point).

Even if the count is high enough, please don't split your Tens.

Whoa there NEG. Splitting tens is a plus when and if you can get away with it. Just remember that if you do split em be ready for heat from the ploppies and security. SO if you feel the need do it with cajones bet big! Then if you win leave! I love splitting tens and winning of course it pisses off the ploppies!
