AOII vs. K-O

I learned the advanced omega II count from Carlson's BJ For Blood, i just read K-O BJ. K-O seems way easier, has anyone read both books? If I Use K-O, do i give up a lot of power?

Before I startd learning a count, I bought both books and tested both books in sims. Asked everyone alot of questions, and found some people playing both in casinos.

I discovered that AOII detects changes in the deck much faster, is more true to what is actually going on in the deck. Its better for insurance, and strategy (as to when to deviate from basic strategy)

All that being said I chose KO.

Why?

Ko is about 100% easier to learn and to use.

I found out that for a person starting out in a casino, its hard to count and adjust bets and estimate true count ect.

I may switch to a smaller version of AOII where I use the tags from the system and add insurance and the Illustrious 18 by Don S.

That should yield more than KO prefferred.

Ko will make money, so I would run buy the book if I was you...

I learned KO, but after doing so felt I needed a "more powerful" count and thus began my study of AOII. After many, many headaches I came to the conclusion that I would not be able to use AOII in a casino environment without smoke coming out of my ears after 20 minutes.

If you've already learned AOII and can use it without errors without a doubt stick with it. I wish I felt more comfortable with it, because if I did I would definitely use it. But for right now I'll stick with KO.

But it is still good enough to win money.

depending on rules and bet spread you can get away with.. it can win more money because you can play it much longer and not make as many mistakes due to sleepy eyes and long nights..
