YJ: A great game

[YJ]

I come across a great game, can anybody tell me how good the game is:
S17, 6D, ES10 and on any number of cards and after double, 5 cards half win, DAS, D2
Can someone advise on 5 cards half win strategy?
Thanks

I don't have exact figures for five card half win as far as basic strategy expectation, but I'd speculate that this game gives you somewhere around a .2% to .3% edge right off the bat.

I do have some figures for 5CHW from Wong's PBJ. Under his benchmark rules & conditions for 6D adding this bonus provides an improvement in score of over 250%. Unfortunately, I don't have any data on ES10, other than BS expectation.

Wong's PBJ is the definitive work on the subject, see chapter nine, its very extensive.
