Handling REKO Full

[Blitzkrieg]

Since REKO has a PE of .55 is it more likely to perform better in a 6 deck game with optimum rules vs. 1 or 2 deck game considering the definition of PE? Is the PE different between REKO and REKO-Full? Are the "changes in playing strategy" in the definition of PE referring to the addition of full indexes and compromise indexes (higher than +2 strategy) being played during a BJ game using REKO Full?

Playing Efficiency – PE indicates how well a counting system handles changes in playing strategy. Playing efficiency is particularly important in hand-held games (one or two decks.)

PE doesn't really apply to unbalanced strategies, and it is dependent on the number of indices used. It's an estimation technique used,mostly, IMHO, to rule out bad tag values and give a good idea of how various tags work. But, it's just an estimate.

Oh, yes it suggests better at shoe games.

Thanks for your expertise Norm. In your opinion would you still recommend REKO/REKO-Full to a player who wanted to use that strategy to attack a single or double deck BJ game?

I added single-deck to round it out. And, it works with SD. But, if you're going to play a significant amount of SD, I would go with a balanced strategy.
