Automatic Monkey;65353My example is doubling 8 vs. 5 and 8 vs. 6 in a H17 SD game. [/QUOTE said:
Well I do agree with you that there really aren't that many diff BS plays to learn - never are, no matter what different game you play.
And I also agree that you can't go wrong using the index plays but, like I tried to say somewhere else recently, despite the count of either a 5,3 vs 6 or a 6,2 vs 6 being the same off the top of a SD H17 game, at least in Hi-Lo, still, doubling the 6,2 vs 6 is wrong since you are better off hitting. One reason for this might be you get a 6,2 vs 6 less often than a 5,3 vs 6 because of the 2 6's used. There are other plays like this where knowing the comp-dependent play is better than the recommended index play. Like hit the 10,2 vs 4 but not a 9,3, 8,4 or 7,5 vs 4 at least if you are a BS player, probably because the latter 3 put together don't occur as often as the 10,2 which is why BS would say to stand on any 12 vs 4 - not sure about the index play here lol.
In case you/anyone actually cares, and I hope you don't lol, don't double a 6,2 vs 5 in the S17 SD game either.
Not that you can likely buy a cup of coffee with the extra gain for a really long time. Maybe if you bet alot you could lol.
But all comp-dependent plays taken together can have a not-bad percentage reduction in overall HA assuming a re-shuffle after every hand.
And I do like the the range of TC's one experiences the fewer the decks. Much much more fun.
