The best game i can play in my area is a 5.0/6 S17 DAS with a 1-12 spread. I backcount the game (never playing a hand at TC below +1) and according to Blackjack Attack it has a win/100 of 2.47 units.
When backcounting there are 8 index numbers in the illustrious 18 that i never need to know:
9 vs 2 +1 (becomes a double in modified backcounters basic strategy)
11 vs A +1 (becomes a double in modified backcounters basic strategy)
16 vs 10 0 (becomes a stand in modified backcounters basic strategy)
13 vs 2 0 (never deviates from basic strategy in positive counts)
13 vs 3 -2 (never deviates from basic strategy in positive counts)
12 vs 4 0 (never deviates from basic strategy in positive counts)
12 vs 5 -1 (never deviates from basic strategy in positive counts)
12 vs 6 -3 (never deviates from basic strategy in positive counts)
The 9 that are used include:
Insurance +3
16 vs 9 +5
15 vs 10 +4
12 vs 2 +4
12 vs 3 +2
10 vs 10 +4
10 vs A +4
9 vs 7 +4
10,10 vs 5 +5
10,10 vs 6 +5
Are there 8 new deviation plays to replace the 8 not used when backcounting and what increase in win/100 would this "modified Illustrious 18" have? Thanks for any responses!
