Zenfighter: Little RoR essay for ENHC rules

[Zenfighter]

I wanted to compare the RoR?s between let?s say USA 6dks standard rules and ENHC?s ones, assuming the player will backcount both, and follow D.S.?s betting recommendations, that?s spreading 1 to 12 as a function of the increasing TC?s .
We have then

a) 6dks, S17, DOA, DAS, RSP=4, NRSA BSE = -.40

b) 6dks, S17, DB9, DAS, RSP =4, NRSA BSE = -.60 ENHC (lose all vs. BJ)

Penetration is set to 4.5/6, Halves count has been used.

 

 

Units	RoR (a) 	Prob (a)       	RoR (b)	        Prob (b) Diff. in RoR?s (%)  

 

1200	0.53%		1 in 189 	0.90%		1 in 111	- 41.11% 

 

1000	1.27%		1 in 79		1.98%		1 in 51		- 35.86% 

 

800	3.05%		1 in 33		4.33%		1 in 23		- 29.56% 

 

600	7.30%		1 in 14		9.49%		1 in 11		- 23.08% 

 

400    17.46%		1 in 6         20.81%	        1 in 5  	- 16.10% 

 

Despite the ridiculous -.11 (for ENHC) and -.09 (for DB9 ), the price that we have to
pay in terms of RoR?s shall not be underestimated. Make no mistake here, you?ll need
much more units if you are planning to play abroad and want to keep your comfortable
RoR the same like at home (USA).

Needless to say, that you don?t need me to assure that your betting spread
1 to 12 is dynamite vs. the 6 deckers, but at least let me thank you for
encourage us to use it.

Standard euro chips available everywhere are now the following:

5?, 10?, 50?, 100?, 250? and 500?.

Given these sets of chips, it strikes to me, that they can be used with a little of
?imagination? to hide a little bit our real intentions.

As an example, let?s consider a 60K bankroll, spreading 50 to 600 euros.

 

 

TC 1	50  (one chip or 5 of 10?) 

 

TC 2	100 (one chip or 2 of 50) 

 

TC 3	200 (one hundred and two 50s) 

 

TC 4	300 (one of 250 and one 50) 

 

TC 5	600 (let it ride the former bet after a win, otherwise bet the same) 

 

 

As you can see and since the cover needs for foreign players are not as high as for
native Americans, the cover is employed only when the big money hit the green felt.

A ?high roller? (100 to 1200) will be forced to spread to two hands of 600? each,
among other things, because table maximums over 1000? are as rare, as green dogs :-)

For the 25 or 50 euros player, I won?t go to two hands at TC 5, saving those extra 2.7 cards.

If I?m evaluating this somehow wrong, don?t hesitate to let me know.

Sincerely

If playing alone, saving the cards is fine, but remember that you bet 75% of the one-hand wager on EACH of the two hands, so if there are other players at the table, spreading to two hands is the right way to go.

Absolutely right Don, the player from the above example if alone at the table, will hurt
himself going to 2 hands of 300, in order to compensate the card eating effect he shall
bet 450 ?/$ on both hands, but where the hell the 300 ?/$ extras do they come from? Not from a parlay, for sure. Therefore, risky and amateurish move. No doubt also that with others at the table, 2 hands of 300 is the correct one to do, putting the whole money on the table but lowering the risk. Believe it or not, I had completely forgotten that your original intention was to bet 8 units and therefore switched correctly to 2 hands of 6 units. After your answer, I read again ?A day in the life?.?, and virtually LOL, an article I have translated into my mother language, at the request of a card counter friend of mine.

Thanks for the replay
