You are question is very unclear.
I assume that are referring to the dealer's "upcard"
You always want the dealer to display a 6, 5, 4, or 3 -- but the deuce is still BETTER (for YOU) than a 7 or higher.
Amateur players and dealers alike promulgate the utter nonsense that "The Deuce is the Dealer's Ace"

provided the dealer doesn't pull 21 on 3,4,5,6,7,8, or 9 card.Especially for people like David Morse:

Your analysis is wrong.
(1) You've assumed that all bad hands are equal and all good hands are equal, which is wrong. 13 is bad and 15 is bad, but 15 is much worse than 13.
(2) You've also ignored what happens to the dealer - 5's turn dealer 12-16 into dealer 17-21; 3's turn dealer 12-16 into dealer 15-19.
P.S. In English, the dame (D) is called a queen (Q). Since most players here are from the U.S., you should probably use Q instead of D.

I don't know what he meant either since he seems to have gone from "2 is more bad than 5" in his first post to "5 is more bad than 2" in his last post.
But, as far as what you seem to be saying, I'd much rather face a dealer upcard of 7 than a dealer upcard of 2. Heck, I'd rather face a dealer upcard of 7 than a dealer upcard of 3.
Since I have higher expected value vs the dealer 7 than a 2 or a 3 in both cases.

Here's proof that removing the 5 would have the most advantageous effect for the player, followed by the 4.

He wants to know whether it would be more advantageous overall to remove one 4 and one 5 from a deck or one 2 and one 3. In a 1D H17 DAS DOA game with a cut card a BS player would have roughly a 1.3% edge over the house if a 4 and 5 were removed. With a 2 and 3 removed the players edge would be roughly half that, 0.66%.

Not a chance. You can do it if you want; there are 2,000,000 hand combinations and I'm not doing that to prove to you something as trivial as why 5 is the worst card in the deck. If you don't believe the sims, then don't believe the sims. There's nobody who has a vested interest in your playing blackjack well except for you and your mother.
