to do with your success than the count you use."

Poorly worded. it stinks of subjective voodoo nonsense.
Your (short-term) "success" is NOT a "table condition."
This is no more than pure superstition derived from
"selective memory" That is what it sounds like to me.
I am aware that (pathological) ploppies think that way.[/quote]

I am with ZMF all the way on this one, who described it perfectly. Zee, any poor player who does not work hard and thinks that just by using good table selection will be enough to carry them through to long term success is gravely mistaken. All it will do is possibly prolong an inevitable long term defeat.

I do not have a handy statistic, especially as
varying table conditions must be factored in.
I can say that Pragmatically Speaking the
difference is extremely (impressively) large.
When my students switch from a Level One
Count to Hi-Opt II they are virtually unanimous
in mentioning this - their subjective experience
of reduced volatility!

BoSox:
ZMF, at least you admit you are biased in your opinion, and not meant to be taken literally. Poorly worded. You are making the first statement worse.
It stinks of subjective short term irrelevance.

Zee, do not take it as a put down. The count you use is a individual choice, it either works for you, or it does not. The proof is in the pudding, do not let short term results give you the wrong impression. You also need to keep working hard, and fine tuning all aspects of your game.
