I'd say for the vast majority of counters Hi Lo would be best.

If you play predominantly pitch games then there is a strong argument for counts with better playing efficiency. However then it's an issue of whether the added difficulty is worth it. Anyone would agree that playing Hi Lo perfectly and effortlessly would be a lot better than struggling with a harder system.

Moses replies: PE has some merit. But let's not jump off a bridge over it. The game has CHANGED. The first 26 cards or 50% is primarily a crap shoot. So, for the most part, your influence or decisions making process will occur between card 27 and 33. NOW, if you start doing this hairy high school bull shit of hitting 15 vs 3 and winning the hand? Then you are not going to get to see card 27 much longer, maybe never again with that particular dealer. HI LO is NOT the answer in pitch games. I'm sorry KJ, it isn't because bet spread and bet frequency are reduced significantly in comparison to shoe games. So in order to avoid or reduce heat you will need a column count. Conventional method? Dog Shit Cake and moving the Ace on insurance decisions is the best and most practical solution according to CV Data. Perfect Insurance will add to SCORE.

DSC from HiLO, you are dropping the 2 and adding the 7, giving the 5 a 1.5 tag and the 9 a -.5 tag. How difficult can that be?
