I was reading some articles on counting cards. Purely out of curiosity for sure. It is beyond me how people do this. Way to much for me to wrap my head around.
poker-tips.co.uk calls this the "easy" method.
Basically Card Counting works because the player gains an advantage when a deck has a shortage of cards valued two to eight. When a deck has a shortage of cards valued nine, ten, and Ace, the player is at a disadvantage. If you can tell when the deck is rich in nines, tens and Aces you can do one of the following things:
Bet more money when the deck is favorable to you
Adjust your basic strategy play to account for the favorability, thereby increasing the odds of winning a particular hand.

Anyone know how to actually do this and has this been a valuable strategy for you poker lovers?
