    True Count & Number of Players

    Please forgive if this question is nonsensical for some reason, but I don't believe I've seen this topic addressed.

    Consider a lone player playing 6 decks (Las Vegas Strip rules) at Table A, and, after Round 20 (let's say 108 cards are in the discard tray), the True Count is +2. Now consider the same 6 deck game with 5 players at Table B, and the True Count is also +2 with also 108 cards in the discard tray.

    Is the meaning or value of the +2 Count to the lone player at Table A the same as it is to EACH of the 5 players at Table B? In other words, at the 5-player game, can the 3rd base player, for example, expect the same advantage that the 1st player is expecting due to the True Count being +2? If not, has anyone quantified how much, and at what point, a True Count's value begins losing its full value as a multi-player Round progresses?

    It is my understanding that the True Count is recalculated after each Round. But wouldn't it be more accurate to recalculate it more frequently when there are more than, say, 3 or so players at the table? Or do some players already do this?
