    Don and his helpers came up with the definitive work to answer this question. Reference chapter 13: New Answers to Old Questions. I don't want to hear you say you don't have the most reasonably priced and most valuable book written on BJ. I have reread it many times. As you learn more you get more out of each chapter. You could probably double your EV on the first read if you are new to most of the concepts. Chapter 13, the one I just referenced, probably had more to do with growing my BR than most other things. I think I made around $5K the first week after reading it that was absolutely due to the info in the chapter. I was White Rabbiting and hit some great shoes I would not have otherwise. Basically your optimal departure point will vary with current penetration level, availability of a new table and crowding. Believe it or not at the end of a shoe you optimally walk away from a moderate advantage. I also factor in other factors not included since my count gathers more information than some but the concepts outlines in Chapter 13 are not too hard to expand upon if you understand them.
