    Paranoid

    Anyone else ever feel paranoid about their deck estimation? I once thought about just going to an unbalanced count to remove the paranoia and always have a precise solid game. I feel like we all concentrate too much on keeping the count, but if we can't accurately estimate the decks in the discard pile, isnt that the same as being consistently off with your count? Let's say you only accurately estimate the decks at about 85%, isnt that the same as being consistently off the count by about 3 or more?

    If Im that paranoid, is it worth it switching to an unbalanced count? Or is the weakness of an unbalanced count equal to the minor deck estimation errors from a balanced strategy? Im also aware with unbalanced counts, you have to adjust your early indexes based on the penetration, which is a huge inconvenience. I once thought about UBZ II, but im no longer at the point where I feel like alternating counts. Is there a way I can make an unbalanced Halves with relatively the same indices?
