HiLo with Ace side count

[Boz]

What are other uses of Ace side count with HiLo counting?

It would be wiser to use an ace-neutral count if you are already side-counting the aces because it increases playing efficiency. You could take the Aces and deuces out of your count altogether. And use that count for playing decisions, which is Hi-opt 1. Then you keep a balanced side-count of Aces against deuces, and add it in to decide your betting strategy--which is the Hi-Lo part. Hi-Lo ace side count isn't any less effort than that, IMO, and significantly less gain.
