Penetrations Effect on Betting

[ZeeBabar]

I agree with the guy above. I have been an AP for some time and have switched my counting systems a couple of times. I feel that the most important thing in counting is to use the right system for the right game. However, HiLo is a must learn for every AP because it is versatile. Penetration is so important that you do not play games with low pen. Low pen means higher bet spread and higher risk, if counting only.

Could anyone tell me how much money I am leaving at the table by using HiLo instead of Hi-Opt2 or other level 2 count if I am playing with a $10 minimum game with a max bet of $200 in a 4 hour session playing 2 decks, 6 deck game? I would bet it’s less than $2.

I am experienced with different systems. HiOpt are for single and double decks. Hilo and zen are for shoe games. Difference is huge but I don’t know the numbers.

All of your answers are on pages 171 and 172 of BJA3. And it's a lot more than $2.

And it's a lot more than $2.

That's assuming he's capable of playing an error-free L2 count and won't be afraid to spread, split, DD, etc., when appropriate.

Why, you have reason to believe that he isn't capable of doing that?
