Hi Everyone, I hope all is well.


I assume the vast majority of us count the dealer's up card as soon as it is dealt.

Please explain how you do not confuse the up card with the dealers hole card at the end of the hand?


I have been using the KO count in Atlantic City for four years and I only count the dealer's up card at the end of the hand.
I never confuse the up card with the hole card this way.

Also, I realize I need to count the up card at times when deviating
from basic strategy such as when to take insurance or stand 12 against a 2, etc.
