I slightly misread your earlier post
Regarding value of additional indices, etc.: I am not obsessive but I find at the table that I want to know the correct play when it comes up, often out of curiousity. I also have found myself with odd hands (statistically) with a large amount on the table (for me) and I prefer to have a pretty good idea of what to do. Learning 12-4 v. 2 and 12-5 v. 2 helped twice just last night, for example. On the other hand, I enjoy simplicity - but the table of indices is not that hard to memorize with a modest amount of play to reinforce certain indices because they arise.
This is why I wish the tables of expected values published not EV, but win, loss, tied rates, for use in calculating Kelly values, as well as win, loss, tied rates for different true counts. Even for just one counting system, like Hi-Lo. But such is life without a Windows machine on which to run monte carlo simulations, I don't have the time to spend to do the tough work to figure out some of these things with, in essence, pad and pen (even approximately).
Best, R
