DS, it helps to do some research to confirm what you think you read. Using the CVCX tool in the BJ resources toolbar:
Hilo 6 deck/1 cut off S17, DAS, LS play-all $100K BR:
Hilo I18/F4 16 to 1 optimal spread:
EV $568.13/100 rounds, RoR 13.5%, n0 17592
Hilo full 14 to 1 optimal spread:
EV $591.64/100 rounds, RoR 13.2%, n0 16750
For Hilo the 14:1 optimal spread with full indices outperforms the 16:1 I18/F4 for EV even with giving up some potential EV gain to a lower RoR.
Many have gotten misconceptions about the I18/F4 being all you need from Don's book. Don just meant to show you the most important indices to start the index learning process with. Not where to end learning indices. If anyone got the idea that the I18/F4 is the ending point for indices from Don's book, they didn't understand what they read no matter how many times they read it. Don has stated this on this site fairly recently. Unfortunately some have read too much into what Don wrote on the I18/F4 that simply isn't there.
