    He might be referring to the Adjustment of the Ace for the play of hands, in which i described in a previous post to Add +1 to your RC for every seen ace..But now that i think about it myself it could be flawed since it leaves you with an imbalance..Maybe you could shed some light on this since your the Bjgenius? Was my methodology correct?

    His question is on adjusting wagering.

    It's not every ace seen, just the imbalance of aces seen. You expect to see one ace per quarter deck.

For your playing decision, you've seen one more extra ace than you should have, so add that to the RC for a playing RC of +1. Then use the playing RC to calculate a new TC for your playing decision. Similarly, had you seen only 7 aces in the 2 counted decks, with a RC if 0, the playing running count would be -1.
    Thanks for answering my question Fenix! So basically for every Ace I see that is more than expected, I add back +1, and the opposite as well. Cool.
