Hi Don,
I’ll explain the motivation for my question: I developed a 2-parameter system where the second parameter is another balanced count. For a majority of plays, some multiple of the side count combined with the main count allows for the use of different tags with a higher correlation coefficient. The side count multiple for each individual play was chosen by maximizing the correlation coefficient. I am totally willing to accept that the effect on each individual play is probably a tiny EV gain, but something (I can’t remember what it was now) spooked me into thinking that there could be some unconsidered possibility that making my adjustments for some plays could be worse than using the main system tags.
What you said is reassuring to me.
Since you are working on the BJA 4th edition, may I suggest one small update for the EoR tables: I think the splitting 8,8 v T numbers on page 515 are not quite the right ones. Those EoRs are for splitting versus hitting 8,8 v T, but really that decision is about splitting over standing. In a positive count with 8,8 v T, you either split or stand (assuming no late surrender).
