Exhibit CAA Beyond Counting - MACK Card Counting System
I have a hard time understanding this strategy table, for example, 3 matches of upcard Q , [A] = 1, [K] = 2, and dealer upcard is Q, what is the strategy ?
1) When [A] + [K] = 3 vs dealer's upcard Q, the proposed strategy is Raise ALL
2) When [A] + [K] < 4 vs dealer's upcard Q, the proposed strategy is Raise when stronger than AKQXX
So which one is correct ?

I'm not sure where that comes from. I've never seen the contents of that book discussed.

I am not posting the image of strategy table for copyright reasons. I am just hoping someone who has the book can explain to me how to read this table correctly.
For example:
AKQ83 vs Q ___ Raise -0.91 Fold -1.0
AKJ83 vs Q ____Raise -1.17 Fold -1.0
AK863 vs 3 ____Raise -0.93 Fold -1.0
AK542 vs 2 ____Raise -0.97 Fold -1.0

If there is a forum where this book is the major discussion point I would love to know what it is. It was a groundbreaking book in its day.

Apparently the author managed to encrypt an elementary strategy more complex than the writing of the ancient Mayan peoples.
: )
Interesting. Can you elaborate a bit? I would love to know where you got your hands on a Griffin book, or perhaps you worked someplace that had one already.Quote: HunterhillQuote: AxelWolfIm selling my original Beyond Counting for a good price if anyone is interested: $500

It was not easy getting my hands on one, it was a matter of knowing someone...who knew someone... who knew someone who worked at the right place, and I paid a significant amount at the time.
My only real interest at the time was knowing what they knew about me. I didn't realize just how much information and details were in there related to Advantage Play.
There was a case that stuck out after reading it. They stated something along the lines of. Mr. X had the perfect crime involving some kind of fake money transfers to the casino that would have gone unnoticed had it not been for one thing...
He told his GF, he pissed her off, and she NARC'ed him out.

Yes I worked somewhere so I was able to get access to it.
At the time casinos were installing large automatic peekers to check for bj . I will leave the rest of it unsaid.

It would take you at most a few hours to figure out the type of problem the OP mentions with modern AI software, which will do 90% of the work for you. Gambling games are among the simplest things to program. You don't need to buy any books to work it out.
