Sweet 16 Question

[Three]

Memorize the most important first. I make sure I know the positive indices because that is when the big bets are out. I learn the indices like phone numbers. Hit/stand 12 has a series of indices for the upcards 2 to 6. I also learned them by dealer upcard. Once you see the dealer upcard you have an idea of what possible indices you might have to call up before your hand is complete. After practicing enough the matchup index will come up without the series. I found this works great for how my brain works. I am not good at memorizing things.

If you use HILO Norm has a great visual tool for some hand matchups. Unfortunately he never completed all the matchups. Look at the vertical scale as it changes from graph to graph for hand matchups:

If this is what you are referring to I will stop saying it. I have said it periodically as an interactive program for more counts and conditions would be very interesting as you get into correlation of the count to the matchup EORs. It makes it much easier for newbies to visualize the gain from indices and with Don's EOR matchup charts count correlation gain could be much easier visualized for most people. I have found some advanced APs are weak on understanding these things. It isn't such a big deal for BJ but other related games understanding this gets to be a very important part of developing a large advantage.

No, not at all. More charts would indeed be interesting. I just ran enough charts to make the point that indices are very different in how they work. Particularly splits. I was referring to the Ill18. Determining the Ill18 in 1986 was an enormous amount of work. When you get much past that, it's very difficult even today given the variations in circumstances.
