Maybe you were trying too fancy a count. There are a lot of variants that add massive complexity for very little incremental return. The basic count captures most of the advantage and requires no memorization. Just... counting. (It does take practice to do it effortlessly.)
the count was pretty simple, IIRC +1 for 10/J/Q/K/A, 8/9 neutral and 2's thru 8's -1
That was pretty easy (although I rarely got a single deck count correct when I practiced). The boring part I was too lazy to master was all the rules associated with various counts
I tried it halfass at low stakes and lost quickly and gave up, I'm the type of person who even if I counted perfectly and knew all the rules would still be too bothered by the variance and it would mess up my head.
You seem unaffected by big losses which would have made me puke
continued success & thx for the reply
