I don't think it is "my theory".

See Peter Griffin's "theory of blackjack".

I can easily provide PE/BC (playing efficiency/betting correlation) for several
counts to show what I mean.  Also I believe you can find them at Norm
Wattenberger's web site (www.qfit.com) (Norm is the author of several
professional-grade blackjack tools, from an outstanding simulator, to a training
tool for counting skills).

Most all experienced BJ CC'ers suggest that beginners learn a L1 counting
system.  If you don't count accurately, there's no point in learning anything
else...  L2 is beyond most except for those playing professionally so that they
play multiple times per week.  I won't say much about my playing frequency, but
I do play a lot.  I'm not that far from some very good blackjack games although
many were blown away by Katrina.

Be happy to discuss advantage play offline if you want, my email is in my
profile I think.  Everyone knows it anyway. :)
