It depends on the rules of the 6-8 deck game. If the rules are favorable enough and good penetration on a 6-8 game there is a gain for side counting. For example, say you play Six deck S17, DAS, LS, RSA with 83% penetration. For other rules I would not consider side counting a 6-8 games because the SCORE would be similar using the Zen Count when playing less favorable rules.
