    I am saying if you take partial insurance some of the time that it is not an index play your insurance bet correlation will seem more random. That helps pass skills tests.

    Andersen, in one if his books, stated he collaborated with Wong, on the cost of several low cost strategies, including taking insurance on every hand, when available. Not withstanding the stakes. From my original mentor, whom I haven't seen in a few years, I have, so ewhere, a low cost strategy chart, in excel format. I don't use it, but it was a handy reference.
