I would recommend 1/2 deck estimates until you are below 1 deck but dons suggestion works great for many. There are tricks for certain math problems like to multiply by .8 many may not be too comfortable. It is the same as subtracting 1/5. Move the decimal point over one and double and subtract that from the number. With practice you will do this quick and without thought. An easy example is 10*.8. You move the decimal over 1 to get 1 and double to get 2 and subtract from 10 to get 8. Obviously the multiplication in the example is thoughtless but it illustrates the method.
Just think up short cuts that are easy for you and use those as deck estimates. BigPlayer is talking about the same thing that works for him. You don't want to use the next trick until that penetration has been reached.
1.5 decks left you subtract on third of the RC from the RC to get the TC.
1.25 decks left was Don's multiply by .8 or my "short cut" if that doesn't come easy to you.
1 deck left you us the RC as the TC.
.75 decks is add one third or multiply by 1.33.
.67 decks left add half or multiply by 1.5.
.5 decks left multiply by 2.
.33 decks left you multiply by 3.
.25 decks left multiply by 4.
I think what Bigplayer was suggesting as a sliding scale adjustment for under a deck is probably the simplest once you train your brain to think that way. I bet he just knows the TC without much thought.
