Difficulty Understanding ReKO Indexes (New to Counting)

**jrl41090** · 03-23-2018, 04:33 PM

I've recently begun practicing counting at home, doing a variety of drills to increase speed and recognition of the count, and am practicing with the ReKO count. The counting practice is going quite well. I am finding myself a little confused by the indexes, however, and was hoping someone could share some light on them for me. The site says, in part:

Indexes

Thanks to Cacarulo for help in selecting the index set

Insurance
16vT
15vT
12v2
12v3
12v4
11vA
10vA
10vT
9v2
9v7
8v5
8v6
A8v5
A8v6

What I don't fully understand is: on 16vT, basic strategy says to surrender. What do I do differently once the count is +2 on a 16vT? If the count is +2 isn't there even more of a reason to surrender a 16vT?

Or say take the index for 12v4. Basic Strategy says to stand on 12v4. When the count hits +2, shouldn't there be even more of a reason to stand at +2?

I am sure the explanation is a simple one, but it is eluding me currently. Thanks in advance!

The answers to both of your questions are yes.

I was confused when I first started.

16 v 10 is surrender. But what if you get a 7,5 v 10? You hit. Then you get a 4. You can't surrender three cards. The index says when to hit or stand. If I'm reading your index correctly, if you have TC less than +2, you hit again. At TC 2 or above, you stand.
