    Calculating indices for single deck

    Hi,

    I'm learning Fred Renzey's Mentor count but the index numbers in his book are for shoe games rather than pitch. For example, doubling 8 vs 5 or 6 requires a fairly positive TC.

    Renzey's tags are: 2(+1), 3-6(+2), 7(+1), 8(0), 9(-1) 10s(-2), A(-1). His TC is calculated using multiplication rather than division and I would like to retain that feature.

    Ideally I would like to produce the index numbers for single deck, DAS, H17, EV maximizing.

    Casino Verite doesn't look as if it supports the Mentor count so it doesn't seem like the route to take.

    Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

    CV supports and includes Mentor, by permission. Use the Custom TC function. Although, I don't advise use of Mentor.

    Thank you Norm.

    I must have originally looked at the wrong page on qfit.com and missed the inclusion of the Mentor count.

    May I ask if you are averse to Mentor in general or just in the case of single deck?

    I just think it's more difficult than necessary.
