As everyone knows, I play all. Further, I usually play heads up with a no hole card game. This translates into that most important factor, hands per hour. If I leave a shoe because of a shitty count, then that shoe is dead until someone else shows up – clearly unacceptable to both myself and the house.

The math may be the math, but it is not necessarily the most practical. I make up shitty counts with loads of index play and speed of play. It works for me.
