Friends,
I am starting to dabble using the Wizard's Ace Five counting method. I have been using at a double deck , H17, Surrender, Resplit Aces table but I reread the thing today and I missed the fact that it is designed to be used with the shoe games. Any reason Ace Five would work better or worse on a 2 deck game than a 6 deck game? Thanks!

Any counting method is better the less decks in play. Imagine removing 2 5's from a SD, then 2 5's from a 6deck shoe.
Hopefully one of the math wiz's will explain it better,

In a 6 deck game with 75% penetration the Ace Five count gives you an advantage over basic strategy. This is quite different with double deck games because you won't see enough cards. Most dealers cut right down the middle or maybe a few cards better drastically reducing the effectiveness of Ace Five.
