$5-8 an hour is a little low even for me, so just refer to my previous post, does my hourly rate double for two hands? Or is it more complicated than that? Would I make like 1.5 double or something?
Well as far as "Basically tho, I think all this says it that my original post was right on" I never had a problem with your proposed graduated spread. In fact, you were about the only person that made any sense at all to me.
Think how scary that is lol.
Yes, like Sonny said, your win rate will about double if you play 2 hds at $25 compared to only 1 hand at $25. Or whatever $X.
My sheet will express things "per round" not "per hand". I hope anyway lol. I think CVCX would do the same thing. Just as, even if you don't spread to multiple hands, when you may split to 4 "hands", the rates are always "per round". At least I think they are lol. It seems like CVDATA maybe gives both IBA and TBA.
Guess only QFIT can tell you how CVCX expresses stuff. Like I just noticed CVCX sems to maybe express, when back-counting, the frequencies as a percentage of hands actually played even though one may only be playing, say, 28% of every 100 seen. 'Nother subject lol.
But, yes, I would say it is a little more complicated than that if one spreads to multiple hands optimally. If one's optimal single-hand bet is $25 and one wants to spread to 2 hands, then one will bet about 50% more in total. So one would bet 2 hands at $18.75 for $37.50 in total. This will not double your win rate but will increase your EV, just not doubling it, also increase your variance, but will keep overall risk the same with the same total $roll since EV and variance/SD are increasing proportionately keeping the overall ratio to each other the same.
But, like others say, if you want to bet $25 each spot and spread to 7 hands just because the table is open and that will get you the most possible $amount out there in an +adv situation, you will enjoy a much higher EV but you will need alot more total $roll to keep your risk of losing your roll the same as if you had just spread optimally in the first place.
Does that make sense Sonny?
Good luck Stickem. If you/anyone have more questions on my sheet or whatever, let me know and I'll try... lol.
