moses,

Took the bait from your post #22 in the Percentage of hands players will win at positive counts thread (https://www.blackjacktheforum.com/sh...ositive-counts), and decided it best to open a new thread. If I am correctly following your post, then:

J,J,Q = 3
8 = 1
6, 7 = 2
2,3,4,5,5 = 5

Is that correct? If so, then it tracks cards played, not cards remaining. Thanks. Otherwise it would be 13 (17 if you include 9s in your large cards grouping),3,6,11.

Assuming I have your column tracking method down correctly, then it appears you do not assign differing (nor even pos. or neg.) tag values to card groupings. If so, I am lost as to how you get either a RC or a TC.

Also, where do you group 9s and Aces?

As for there being no TC with a column count, I suspect someone else who uses that tracking methodology might disagree with your statement.
