Get you in and out of the game more quickly, has a higher variance, and does win more money. There are ways of getting the same effect with the Hi Opt II without using the +3 indice on the 5 card.

It was re : your post that mentioned the extra gain from the OPT II without counting the 5 as +3. Can you please explain the methods?

Thank you.

aces and faces

Has anyone read aces and faces? Is it worth reading?
How effective is this Hi-opt III?

I've read it.

I got one of the first copies.

> Is it worth reading?

It is a decent book for beginners. The chapters are very short but there is a good amount of information in there. He touches briefly on Ace sequencing, memory techniques, and covers the basics of betting and playing. The last few chapters are mostly aimed at playing online, which seems to be a slowly dying game.

It is not much more effective then the Hi-Opt II or Zen. I think it was more of an excercise for Rob when he was trying to create a new card counting system. It is slightly more powerful, but probably not worth the extra effort it requires. Still, he does a good job of showing how different count systems stack up.
