Background: Have a friend who uses a level 2 count for a side game. It's worth approximately $50/hour with HIGH variance. At times he would come with me, but lately he's been into other money ventures. Recently I've taken it upon myself to count the main and side game at the same time (was fun and refreshing), but quickly abandoned ship as I felt uncertainty behind my accuracy and couldn't wager my normal amounts even in the main (average worth is at least 2x more).
How do you guys keep track of two different counts of different levels at the same time? Now instead of just one simple number which you know is positive or negative, now I'm doing like N12+5 in my head (negative 12 for main, +5 for side game). The number pairing also becomes a mess, with a level 2 count you can no longer "cross out" hands together. Add that with the main, it's a disaster.
How many people keep two separate counts at the same time? Top 5% of the AP population?
Is it worth my time investing in this? I assume fatigue would set in and also be a factor.
Do people even do something as silly as this. Arguments can be made to just play bigger on the main to make life easier, but I'm basically maxed EV at my main store and looking to further increase my edge.
Without saying practice, practice, practice, any other suggestions or tips.
Or is this just simply the only way.
Estimated time for you to do two different counts down with 99% accuracy? 1 week? 1 month?
