This recently happened and I've been thinking about it since. If there's a way to set this up in CVData/CVCX, please let me know and I'll try to get the answer myself.
I was playing a D/D game and all 8 Aces were dealt during the first two rounds (two players + dealer). First hand, a player had A-2-A-2-A-2 (yes, player hit 17 by mistake...those tricky Aces). I had A-6-3. I think the dealer took one card (T-5-4, I think). Next hand, the dealer had 6 (A-A) and there were (2) BJ's. 19 cards in two rounds, ~75% pen, so we obviously had a bunch of hands left.
Anyone counting Hi-Lo would have been at -3, so it's not like the count tanked. In fact, the count was positive by my count two hands later (I don't SC A's). Since we rely on 3:2 payouts for a portion of our EV, how much was our loss of potential EV considering Ace removal? If system dependant, for H/L, Zen, and Halves.
Yes, I tried tracking the slug. I even had the cut card after the shuffle, though the strips looked like 2 cards each (I'm exaggerating, but...). I spread to two hands with 4 unit bets. Dealer received a BJ and most of the A's came out much later. I gotta work on that.
