Still surviving out here in Iraq and in between the mess getting my blackjack skills imporved. While reading K-O Blackjack for the third or fourth time I came across the cut card effect again on page 56. Wondering what you all think in general about this "subtle nuance." Any opinions would be of interest to me. From somewhere in Iraq, Invictus.

Not worth the effort
Though the cut-card effect is real and meaningful, it is not worth worrying about. But when you have a deeply dealt game, having a cut card can also help you out quite a bit. Namely, a cut card does not allow the dealer to "preferntially shuffle" on you, which probabably has just as much positive value (or more) than the cut-card effect is negative.
Upshot -- if you find a good game, play it, cut card or not!
