Wanted to get the thoughts of more experienced players, what are the most effective cover plays for lessening heat whilst minimising the amount of EV sacrificed?
Zee brings up an excellent pint. First, my own excellent point. I don't give a shit what simple or fancy schmancy count system one uses. A big spread can be hidden in any of them . Just got to be smart enough to do it.
Zees point
When you make as many bad lays as Zee-who gives a shit if he's counting or not. Many counters will fail because they are bad, or under capitalized etc. Etc.
Just saw my misspelling about Zees lays. To good an error to correct
Requires a stronger type bankroll. Think opposition betting. Thing dynamic betting. Link below will put you in the right direction. The methods have frankly been talked about to much in an open forum.

Anytime you Wong in at a positive count, this play isn't a "cover play", it's an index play! And of course, it cost nothing, in fact it's the move to be made.
Standing 16 vs 10 in a negative count IS a cover play. The cost of this play will depends on your bet spread.

The standing on 16v10 great advice. Also of you find yourself hovering right on an index point and it doesn't really matter one way or other.... ask the dealer or floor what you should do and let them suggest your action and do what they say. Makes you look dumber and costs little to nothing. This mostly would apply to 12s, 15s, 16s, and some double hands etc. Hands that ploppies differ on. Some hit 12s, some dont etc... don't ask the dealer or floor what to do when you have an A9vs 6. You already know an overwhelming majority of times what the answer will be.

I read your semi long winded reply, which missed the point. The answer actually lies within some of your long winded novellos. That being said, I think it wise that dialogue along this line cease.
Btw, my fortune cookie today states - your ability to analyze different situations makes you successful - so true.
You have a tendency of taking the very simple and complicating the ever living shit out if it. I look at complicated things, and simplify them, so all can understand. Simply a different approach, but I made a good living at it.
3, it's easy enough to figure out what it is you're talking around when you talk around it enough. Long-windedness only keeps those with short attention spans from figuring out what you mean. Not all you speak of is so thinly veiled, but once enough posts are read the puzzle pieces fit together even on your more heavily cloaked ideas.
You know much more about BJ and stuff than I do. I have nothing to teach you yet. Maybe someday I'll figure out something new. That would be cool. I think the unique approach I developed is just what you do, but with BJ instead of SP21. It's not as good as your game, but it gets the job done.
