In order not to post two more photos, I will write the result for SPL 1, SPL 2.
8,8 vs 8 spl 1, TC 0 = -0,0862
8,8 vs 8 spl 2, TC 0 = -0,0292
As we can see, I have three different...
Oh wow. I had just asked about this in the private forum here a few weeks ago and got no response. Really difficult to find. If somebody else through on this I would definitely be interested.
Hi Cac, you are exactly right for SPL1 and SPL2 the CA returns the same value because splitting is not optimal. My algorithm would take that walk of re-splitting compute the EV compare it to other...
Thanks iCountNTrack for your responses!
I now understand what's happening with 6,6 vs. 6 and 6,6 vs. 8. In both cases, the correct decision is not to split, yet my CA still calculates the SPL3...
The following is the link to my old CDCA that I built in 2011, this is the console version. I unfortunately cannot find the source for the UI. But this will do. This has the bug fix where playing...
Yeah, I tried to make the gist reasonably machine-readable, the idea being to automate evaluation of each of those split EVs-- with an eye toward comparison with the E value in each case, searching...
I see I was composing my reply nearly concurrently to your comment here, didn't mean to ignore it. See that comment for details on why a truly maximum (i.e., upper bound) EV is useful here, as a...
Hi Cac,
Here are my numbers for 14 sixes and 13 eights for splitting. Please note that both (different) implementations of my splitting algorithm are in agreement and return the same values:

Hi Tim,
I missed replying to this post earlier. The issue with Hi-Opt I is that it depends heavily on other side counts.
For example, in 6D with a 1-16 spread, Hi-Opt I has a SCORE of 21.41....
Hi all, I was reading through the docs and noticed there was no deviation for 15vA, 15v8, A6v2, A5v3, 9sv7, 7sv8, 3sv8, 2sv8, 4sv4. Anyone know why that might be?
I can see why the pairs might be...
It would truly be very interesting to have that reference for SPL1, SPL2, and SPL3.
I doubt anyone is particularly fond of CDP, OP, or brute-force methods.
This is purely a theoretical...
I was on a team with Stealth. That post was more than five years old. He won't respond to you because he has been dead for years now.
Perhaps he really did not know what you meant by...
The Python code that I wrote would be hopelessly slow even for a single full deck, particularly for SPL3. iCountNTrack has written a much faster EV-maximizing implementation, he might weight in here....
Hi Eric,
I think what you have been describing is the theoretical upper bound when considering splitting which is achievable because your depleted shoe example is so simple. However, it may not be...
