How can an Ace side count help a player?

[Julio88]

In blackjack, card counting is a popular technique to determine whether the dealer or player has an advantage by keeping track of the cards that have been dealt. Advanced players sometimes add an Ace side count to their strategy to gain an even greater advantage. Side counting involves keeping track of specific cards, like aces, as they are played in addition to the running count of all cards. By keeping a side count of aces, players can more accurately calculate their chances of getting a natural blackjack, and adjust their strategy accordingly. However, the effectiveness of this strategy will depend on the skill of the player and the specific rules of the game being played

Playing choices may also be influenced by the number of aces that are still in play. To improve their hand with an ace, the player might be more likely to hit stiff hands if the Ace side count indicates that there are fewer aces left.
