Stanford has an entire chapter on five cards in Pro BJ. But, I don't believe five-card Charlie pays 2:1 is there. I get about .21 EV with CVData. That's BS, no mods. Clearly there can be some improvement with strategy changes.

As you may know a 5-card automatic winner is worth 1.4%. Here obviously you must win before
getting paid. But let's think for a while.
On average a 5 card holding means you'll be 17 or higher with a good chance of being pat, that's having 20 or 21. Let's assume you'll win roughly your average 43% of your 5-cards holding. But winning this percent and getting paid 2 to 1 is the same as winning 86% of the hands and getting paid 1 to 1.
Therefore my prediction for this "promo" is:
.86*1.4% = 1.2%
Hitting aces after splits yields also a 0.1%
I'll be mistaken naturally, but this promo looks
like heaven! Enjoy
Sincerely

thanks i get the house edge normally to be .4.So with the 1.2% this gives you an edge of .8% starting off.yeah not bad.so with this i could stay at counts of -1 and still have an edge.
Does wongs books give indices?
Or maybe i should just flat bet as i have an advantage already.Be stupid to risk getting thrown out on a promo like this

Unfortunatelly Wong's PBJ covers the bonus for
a 5-card 21 pays 2-1. No tables for this "super-
bonus". By reading these tables you'll learn
a few tricks, anyway.
I'll play this game with a max. spread of 1 to 6, letting the winnings ride during the positive counts. Don't be so timid!
Take care
