i was very suprised to see that the UBZII SCORE'd up there with the RPC and Zen counts, especially in a 6-deck game S17DAS, at $55.96 per/100 hands (Zen was less than $1 more, barely noticable and above the RPC), where unbalanced counts tend to deteriorate. i came across one of Don's articles in Casino Player magazine and after seeing this i don't see the practical need of using a balanced count unless you have been using one for a while now. the UBZII's power is even more evident in hand held games due to its PE and IC which are comparable to the original Zen's. i feel this count could easily be employed professionally with much more accuracy than most since no TC is required. anyone disagree?
