Professional Blackjack

I have a question regarding the tables 9 and 10 in Professional Blackjack. If you receive a pair and a number is indicated for it against the dealer's upcard, how do you play the hand if the count is below the number? For example, if I receive a 9-9 vs. a dealer's 5, and the count is below the strategy number(-4) at -6, would I treat the pair as a hard 18 and Stand?? Thanks

That's correct....but,

As stated by Stanford in his blackjack secrets, and I think also in Professional blackjack, you shouldn't be playing hands below -1. So there's really no reason to be learning the indices below -1. Stanford recommends not learning the indices below -1 but provides them just as a reference. He recommends learning -1 to +6. Most would say this isn't enough. If you learn -1 to +10 you'll be fine.

HiLo indexes

I don't have the book .. how many are there between -1 and +6 .. between -1 and +10?

Not asking for the indexes, just the number.

Thanks.
