Hello all. First time poster here.

I'm a recreational player who has been using hi-lo with sweet 16 and a handful of negative indices at my local 2d games(h17 55-60% pen DAS NS). I've been considering switching to hi opt 1 for the better playing and insurance accuracy, while sidecounting As/2s to keep betting with hi lo. Is it worth it to switch?

Also, I've been max betting 6 units at TC 4. Is this too early? I'm also considering a 2x6 units bet at TC 5+. From what I've read this is equivalent to a single 8 unit bet risk wise. Is it a good idea?

Thank you
