Got around to looking at my document again; I should have looked at it closer before posting because I pretty much found what I was looking for. The reason I wanted that metric is because I wanted to calculate the average amount of hands played per shoe when there`s various amounts of people at the table. I knew something like this had been done already, but I just couldn`t remember what book I got it from and didn`t want to read all of them again to find it. I`ll check the book below again to see if there are any more specifics (like if he calculated for 6 deck, what the pen was in his example, etc.). I really wanted the exact number of hands per shoe with various amounts of players vs. the hands per hour metric for certain reasons, but if not then this will be enough for me to estimate. From knowing the average rounds per player I can get a pretty good idea anyway. I have a feeling what I`m looking for is in either the book Blackjack Attack or Professional Blackjack. Displayed below for those interested:
Estimated number of hands per hour for 8 deck shoes (from Arnold Snyder`s Blackbelt in Blackjack):
1 player: 200 hph
2 players: 160 hph
3 players: 140 hph
4 players: 120 hph
5 players: 100 hph
6 players: 80 hph
7 players: 65 hph
