marlin: 2 deck game

[marlin]

Hi Don,

Do you consider the hi-opt 2 a stronger system to use than perhaps the halves count for the 2 deck game? In reading the different stats it seems to be the system that gets a little greater return. We are assuming of course just using the illustrious 18. Your opinion is much appreciated.

See p. 171 of BJA3. Hi-Opt II beats Halves in DD by a very decent margin. Of course, the assumption is that the ace side count is being used for the former, making it harder to employ than Halves.

To each his own!
