is to use the tables like counting sheep to go to sleep at night (no kidding). It works so well for me that I have to start at a different place in the matrix each night or I'll never get down to the indicies for pairs!
The bonus is that using them every night to konk out provides a reason to review them daily whether your playing or not so recall becomes photographic.
Puts me to sleep just talking about it ;-)

I use a very simple count. For primary count all denominations are counted as 0.
Now keep a secondary count for each and every card denomination. There are only ten card denominations, so this is very easy.
Now you plug each count into a multivariable calculus equation and apply the correct logarithm to calculate hit/stand decisions and bet size.
What, you find working multivariable calculus equations in your head challenging? Oh, all right, then just use the Gordon count, and use all the side counts, the effect is similar.
BC of this count is 100%, PE is 99.7%.
Have Fun!!
