    Best Level Three Count <?>


    Is this the best Level 3 Count that does not utilize Side-Counts
    ?

    "The Griffin Count"I found it ~ scouring the archives in the "Special Collections" at the University Library in Las Vegas.

    As far as I know it has never appeared in print in any published books, Griffin's own included !

    I would really love to see the B.C., P.E., and I.C. for this count.

    Tags: Deuce to Ace, Left to Right

    +1 +2 +2 +3 +2 +1 +2 -1 -3


    Any and all thoughts on this are very welcome.

    EDITED: due to extreme intoxication deleted some drivel, where I said:

    "I would have switched the tags for the seven (7) and deuce (2) based on the E.O.R.'s of the ranks."

    You are missing the ace tag. I am assuming a balanced count which would then have to be ace neutral to maintain the balance? Although your switching 2 and 7 tags comment does't fit either as they are the same. Please correct your mistake.

    2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 A
    +1 +2 +2 +3 +2 +1 +2 -1 -3

    If these are the correct tags it returns a negative EV when simmed

    That wouldn't make sense because the 2 and 7 tags would both be set to +1.

    Not to mention, the ace is usually the same value or less as the T.

    I would have switched the tags for the seven (7) and deuce (2) based on the E.O.R.'s of the ranks.
    So instead of +1 for the deuce and +1 for the seven, you'd prefer +1 for the seven instead and +1 for the deuce?

    Sounds like a powerful change .

    And I don't think anyone would put +2 on the 8 in any system. Something is amiss.

    if you're going to do a level 3 ace side count, Victor APC is by far the best choice. Easy tags to remember for pairing, and has a .68 PE, .99 BC with ace side count, and .89 IC
