K.O. Players out there?

[BunnyBizkit]

Out of curiosity I'm looking to find other K.O. players to connect with. Seems like a tall order since most people seem to be team Hi-Lo.

It gets worse when you start looking for Ace-Five players...

[BunnyBizkit]

Ha! I bet... Haven't heard of that one yet.

I use KO. It works well for me.

I am of the opinion that KO would be a good system for team play since call-ins would occur at the pivot at about 1.5% advantage.

If I played 2D games, I would use a different system however.

Why not KO for a 2d game? Im trying to understand the reasons why people say this about ko and 2 deck.

Also very curious to know more about why not KO for 2 deck

REKO is the best level one system for double deck:

"REKO is the best level one system for double deck."

Pages 171 and 176 of BJA3 would clearly disagree with that statement.

I recently revisited some simulations I ran a few years ago, and under the following conditions: 2D, H17, DOA, DAS, SPA1, SPL3, NS,
using the R22 index set with a 1 to 8 spread over 50 billion rounds, KO outperforms Hi-Lo:

• 50% penetration
  
  • KO: 25.70
  • Hi-Lo: 24.42
  
  
• 62.5% penetration
  
  • KO: 50.36
  • Hi-Lo: 47.93
  
  

I haven’t tested with S17 or a complete set of indices. Maybe the indices from the book aren't very effective.

See BJA, pp. 165-166. Try changing to S17. Not sure why we have this discrepancy.

Hi Don,

Unfortunately, I don’t have the book on hand. Could it be that the indices from Vancura & Fuchs were used for the comparison?
In my sims, the indices were generated from scratch. I’ll run some sims with S17 later on.

Sincerely,
Cac

Yes, I'm reasonably sure the indices were from their book. But Norm would know.
