Strategies

Strategies is a PRO feature that lets you customize a Basic Strategy Table and Deviation rule set for each counting system, then apply them to Play, Training, and Simulation decision judgment.

Strategy Profile Overview

The left sidebar filters by counting system (Basic, Hi-Lo, KO, Red 7, FELT, Zen, Hi-Opt I, Omega II) and dealer rule (H17 / S17), and the matching profiles appear in the list below.

The app ships with read-only Preset profiles (one per system). To customize, click Duplicate to copy a preset, or + Add Custom to start from scratch. Only Custom profiles can be edited, saved, and deleted.

Strategy Table editor showing Hard Totals, Soft Totals, and Pairs tables with override-able action cells

Strategy Table Customization

Each profile includes a Basic Strategy Table with three sections: Hard Totals, Soft Totals, and Pairs. The horizontal axis shows dealer upcards (2–10, A); the vertical axis shows player hand values or pair types. Each cell shows the standard action for that situation.

In a Custom profile, click any cell's dropdown to change the action (Hit / Stand / Double / Split / Surrender). Modified cells are highlighted in gold. Click Clear Overrides to revert all customizations to the base default at once.

Deviation rule editor showing hand type, dealer upcard, trigger signal threshold, and action for each rule

Deviation Rule Customization

The Deviation section below the table lists all custom rules. You can add, enable/disable, or delete each rule. Each rule specifies:

Hand Type: Hard / Soft / Pair / Insurance.
Player value vs Dealer upcard: The hand and dealer upcard combination that triggers this rule. Wildcard * is supported.
Trigger: A count signal threshold (>= / > / <= / < + value). Balanced systems (Hi-Lo, FELT, Zen, Hi-Opt I, Omega II) use True Count; KO and Red 7 use Running Count.
Action: The action to take when the signal meets the threshold (Hit / Stand / Double / Split / Surrender / Insurance).
Enable / Disable: Toggle each rule individually — disable rules you're not using without deleting them.
Notes: Free-text memo field.

Where Custom Profiles Apply

Once saved, a Custom Profile can be selected in three places:

Play Mode: Assign a Strategy Profile to each seat in Settings. Bet recommendations and decision correctness feedback in Play will use the custom Table and Deviation rules.
Training — Decision Training: Select a Strategy Profile to have Deviation questions generated and graded against your custom rules — useful for drilling your own deviations.
Simulation (PRO): Choose a Strategy Profile in the Sim setup to run simulations using your custom strategy and evaluate its long-term EV and ROI.

Strategies is a PRO feature. FREE users can view Preset profile contents but cannot create Custom profiles or change any settings.
