Default A few questions regarding my expected return

I use KO preferred and spread $5-$50. I know what you're all thinking. "This guy is a real high roller." I've been both sitting and playing straight through shoes for hours at a time and table hopping at my local casino. Neither have drawn even a second glance from anyone in the pit. I'm guessing that's a function of my stakes. I decided to sit down today and try to figure out my expected return. I used the chart on page 177 of Blackbelt in Blackjack as my guide as well as the information in KO Blackjack. I figured that I should expect $7.30/hr when playing straight through the shoes and $10.26/hr when table hopping. Do these numbers sound about right?

I've been averaging higher rates of return and wondered if I made some sort of arithmetic error, or if I have just been lucky before. I can post how I came up with these numbers if needed. Thanks for any input.

See www.card-counting.com/cvcxonlineviewer.htm . The SCORE is the expected win rate given a $10,000 bankroll and full Kelly betting with optimal bets.

It sound right, but doesn't tell the whole story. Playing straigh thru "play-all" requires a bigger spread, a bigger BR, and entails a bigger RoR (risk). zg
