Yes, I should have written RC. It now appears to me that the key counts were established emperically through simulation of expectation using various factors such as RC and penetration. The statement that penetration effects the key count that I mentioned earlier is on page 166. Although I...

Let me ask another way. How do I calculate expectation (%) for a given key count as plotted in figure 6 on page 98?

Ooops! Im my original post, I mixed values from single deck and two deck backs. Sorry. To restate it correctly for single deck. Using the concept of the gumball analogy, there are four more low cards than high cards in a single deck. With an initial count of 0, the count would have to be...

How is the key count calculated? Based on the description of the key count on page 47, the table on page 75 doesn't make sense to me. Where the numbers came from isn't explained. In 1 deck there are 4 more low cards than high cards. With a IRC of -4, the RC would need to be 0 to have an...
