Like for Hilo proportionally more 4's or 5's removed than 2, 3 or 6 will result in a higher advantage than if proportionally more of the latter are removed.

Which can easily result in a false positive or negative situation in marginal positive and negative true counts. Can further distort moderate true count posive and negative situations.

"14,15,16vs10 represent around 6.5% of all hands played."

Is this figure correct?
It looks low to me.
Will someone verify?

"Could it be the CA is also factoring in 77 and 88?"

No ... pair splits are too infrequent to account for your error.

So ... moses;

to make this a learning experience you need to
explain how you missed the target by a furlong.

You're all talking at cross-purposes. First of all, SD or 6D? It matters. Second of all, the difference between the lower percentages and the higher ones is that the lower ones are for an initial two-card holding, while the higher ones are for any totals of 14, 15, or 16.

This isn't a math problem; it's a language problem!! And by God, we surely don't have a shortage of that around here!!

"The category simply states Percentage of Hands dealt. It doesn't signify first two cards only."

Well, I'm trying to explain to you that, no matter what it says, that's what it is: percentage of original two-card hands dealt.

"Why question if there is consistency?"

I didn't question anything; I ANSWERED the questions as to why people were getting two very different sets of frequencies. READ THE GODDAMN THREAD. It's written in English, no?

moses may be quick to post
but he may be slow to read.

No. It's sort of odd info. You could find out how many particular hands you end up with using custom bonuses. Never found the need.

One nice thing about a posting limit per day, people might be more likely to avoid wasting their ration of posts.

"Flash may be quick to make bold statements without ever having looked at a sim."

That is a simple untruth. I'll not dignify it with a (defensive) comment.
