My idea of a T3 thread is to get you all in one place instead of all over the place. This way your readers can begin to absorb without others being force fed.
I shared the concept because I thought others might exceed my attempts if I didn't show them my path. I explained the technique but not the count. I never ever intend on sharing the count and now regret having shared the technique. The advanced version is much more complicated which I initially explained which i doubt anyone followed. This is the version that is not advanced and most people will have no trouble seeing where the power comes from. There isn't much extra power in this version. Just a far different way of gathering and using information that results in a different feel to the BR ebb and flow. The "B" stands for Balanced in Balanced Ace Side Count.
Look Moses I am not sharing anything sensitive on the forum. This is were my count was 3 or 4 years ago before going non-linear. It is nothing very fancy. I don't appreciate you trying to get me to share in the open forum what I already shared and it caused hell to break loose on the forum. I am breaking new ground so talking to me every few months and I will be using a much more powerful version of what I was using a few months before. You say I want to talk about it but I never talk about it. I talk about traditional Hiopt2 as Humble produced it. I merely point out that I use a slightly different version of Hiopt2 that bets with a different betting count so when I talk about my Hiopt2 results people know I am not talking about traditional Hiopt2 results.

I don't do playing adjustments except if the aces are way out of whack. I never really know if aces are in surplus or deficit. I know how they are in relation to some other ranks. I don't know the other ranks surplus or deficit except to know their relationship to still other ranks. This means I can only use a version of combining the counts which can be by any multiple. I usually don't worry about it. Hiopt2 does pretty well at playing decisions to begin with, at least in general. I can say that aces are in surplus compared to these ranks which are in surplus compared to those ranks and decide most likely there is a large surplus of aces. That isn't very useful since it is just a relative statement. By using the addition of the Hiopt2 playing count to a multiple of the BASC tailored to the matchup being decided I can use an index made for that combined count. There aren't very many matchups where that is the case, at least not to an extent to be worth the effort over the normal Hiopt2 main count play. Like I said for betting I multiply the BASC by the fraction that is practical to use that is closest to the optimal multiple for the highest BC. For BJ that practical multiple is 1/2. The same principle can be used for tailoring the best multiple for the handful of index plays that beg for ace information. Like doubling 11 would have a negative multiple that caused the closest combined count to the playing EoR's. I don't go to all that trouble. I just use count combining for betting. My BASC was designed for betting not playing. It does have applications for playing but I just don't worry about that. Like Seriousplayer said it is not a great choice for playing applications. That doesn't mean it can't be useful, just that it won't be that useful in most cases.
