Was looking through my library and noticed I had purchased a Blackjack book of his, "Best Blackjack". I looked in GTOT and it wasn't reviewed there. Any thoughts on this book or the author?


Also, in GTOT you recommend Zen Count as the best count, do you still feel this way? I'm a very novice blackjack player when it comes to counting cards. How much better is the Zen Count than High-Opt I. Which is easier for a novice?

I'm going to Vegas in a couple of weeks and may get in a handful of hours playing BJ at low limits. Is it even worth learning a count? I know perfect basic strategy, should I just stick with that?

Finally, if you think I should learn a count, what book would you recommend?
