Question about low and high cards

Why are 4, 5, and 6 bust cards when 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are low cards, and why if 7, 8, and 9 are netural cards, 9s are included with the 10 cards and aces?

There are no bust cards. The dealer has a better than 50% chance of making his hand with any up card.

It sounds like you are referring to the Hi-Lo count, but you seem to be contradicting yourself. If 9s are neutral they are not included with the 10s and aces. If I'm missing something please clarify.

I second the response: What?

I was referring to Hi-Lo. I was reading an article that I don't know but believe was referencing bust out rates that may explain the ommission of 2 and 3s. I was looking for a way to estimate if a deck in play was player friendly without having to count it immediately after the burn card and make a few changes to the basic strategy to stand when the chances of busting are greater than the dealer's.

Dealer's Upcard	Bust-Out Rate	Player's Hand Value	Bust-Out Rate
2	35.30%	12	31%
3	37.56%	13	39%
4	40.28%	14	56%
5	42.89%	15	58%
6	42.08%	16	62%
7	25.99%	17	69%
8	23.86%	18	77%
9	23.34%	19	85%
10	21.43%	20	92%
Ace	11.65%

How many decks are you playing,Joe?

I think we can assume it's a 6-8 deck shoe for what he's looking for.

There is no practical way to estimate the bust-out rate for any particular up-card after just a few hands - there are simply not enough sample points. Just jumping in to count (leaving the unseen cards as unseen) would be much more effective.
