Mentor – Card Counting Strategy

Mentor – Level II balanced strategy suitable for shoes or pitch games found in Blackjack Bluebook II by Fred Renzey, Blackjack Mentor Press, 2003. Mentor is similar to the Zen Count. These are compromise counts designed to strike a balance between shoe games and hand-held games. Mentor is slanted slightly more towards shoe games. True-counting in Mentor is somewhat unusual as you essentially divide by remaining double decks.
