Question for ZenMaster_Flash, Regarding Zen vs Hi-Opt II with ASC

[Jack Jackson]

Unlike Aces, Sevens have no impact on bet-sizing but in pitch games they
impact the playing of some stiff hands and hand-matchups where the dealer
shows an 8 or 9.

I am now choosing the hi opt ii with ace and seven side count.
why do we side count the sevens again? Does it just go into the playing decisions like you described or does it factor into the true count?

They are also a Key card for dealers 7 up-card as well..And So is the Ace for 16 vs 7..This is because theres a good chance we will push a dealers 17 by drawing to a 16 when there are extra undealt Aces..So with 4 extra dealt Aces and with 1 deck remaining, and with a RC of 0 with Ho2 ADD +4 to your RC..4x4=+16(TC+16) which now justifys standing with 16 v 7 since Ho2s index for this hand is +14....For every UN-DEALT 7 ADD +4 to your RC as well for 16v7..In other words, 2 extra dealt Aces and 2 extra un-dealt 7's would have you standing on 16v7 with Ho2 on a neutral count with 1 deck reamaining ..Learn them 1 at a time first ..Theres also a few worth learning outside of the Hit/stand decisions too..

And if you want to add 3-5 percent to your SCORE use "Custom Indexes" for the Specific game your playing..
