    Hole card tables

    Been reading million dollar blackjack. It contains tables for hole card strategy and tables for when you would deviate from hole card strategy if the True count is low enough (Uston)

    I am curious if there would be any tables as mentioned above, but for hi low.

    Thank you.

    I don't know anyone who bothers counting while playing a HC game.

    I created a set for HiLo just because I'd never seen one before. But, also don't know anyone who uses this.

    Grosjean talks about it a bit in CAA but even he said it doesn't help too much.

    The last thing you want is to get bounced out of a 10% EV HC game for counting. Don't do it.

    Lol,You think you will get caught counting while playing a hole card game.highly unlikely.I won't go into details but this is nonsense.But as others have said counting is a waste on hole card ,except for a few exceptions.

    Using indices in a hole card situation won't increase your chance of getting bounced.

    Yes, if he lies across all the chairs at an empty table.

    In a wheelchair. Seriously, that would be difficult without a partner. I've seen a picture of a holler leaning over so far in his chair it was posted on the walls of a few surv rooms as a joke. He was caught. Yeah, height is not an asset.

    If the dealer is a superstar, yes. I recall one table where the waitress walking by commented on seeing the HC. Fortunately the dealer and pit didn't hear her and she made no further comments.

    So Don, should I not even bother with hole carding if I'm 6 foot 2?
