Exactly. SPL1 means you split only once for a total of two hands. SPL2 means you can split up to twice for a total of three hands, and SPL3, three times for a total of four hands.

Ok, now I understand. At first, it seemed like something your program was doing rather than discarding. I get that a brute-force analysis will go through a tree with all possibilities, including the...
Thanks, this is interesting! If I understand the column header notation correctly, when evaluating SPL#, you are computing split EVs assuming that you split, and resplit at every opportunity, up to a...
Sorry to ramble, but I have a question for the discussion participants: have any of you tried to connect servers with artificial intelligence for calculations?
I just know how the problem with a...
You can review the code to see what's happening; don't think of it as "forcing" situations that should never happen, but rather "exploring" all possible situations, playing out all possible...
Thanks so much, Don.
My initial post for Bryce to see (containing my reaction to his 2012 "Card Clumping Myth" blog on this Forum) can be found about 32 posts below this post. Here (hopefully!) is...

I went ahead and calculated the "Global Optimum" for all the compositions and compiled the results with all previously calculated results. Please see link below for the spreadsheet. Interesting...
You bring up a good point about having compositions that dont have enough cards for 3 splits. I think we need to avoid using those compositions because they introduce an extra layer of complexity to...
It is true that the potential playing deviations for Cash Out won't be worth much, especially if the most common ones are biased toward negative counts; the ease of wonging in and out of the game in...
I think for this exercise we only need to list the final optimum states (a state is a combination of played out split hands with an indication on whether the hand was double or not) that were used in...
