What is the minimum pen for a playable double deck?

[BigJer]

I've looked it up but can't seem to find anything. TIA.

50% S17 heads up is very playable

Go to BJ21.com and search for “Rule of Eleven” in their glossary of terms. It’s a method that Green Chip member Fine Tuner came up with to quickly determine what cuts were needed in order to play DD.

It depends.

It depends.

. that is so true . Heat is the major factor.

[QUOTE=stopgambling;255208]. that is so true . Heat is the major factor.

Heads up, 50% pen, H17, D9, DAS and 3-2. I play that game often and use a variable 20-1 spread. No side bets.

I have already played a DD, 45% pen, H17, D10, DAS10, 3-2 game with no switching between hands and the hide rule to boot. No wonder I had shitty results.

My hat is off for those with a lot of gut and money to play that games. If I see a dealer with 2/3 cut for DD in his/her hand I just keep walking. I am too chicken to play with the wolf.

this is a great question for CVCX. the reason its a tough question to answer is because it depends on:
1. bet spread (which itself depends on heat)
2. rules
3. number of hands
4. can you wong out?
That all said, the shallowest penetration that I play for a game that is a 2-deck, 3:2, H17, DAS, no RSA where I use about a 1-8 bet spread and can only play 1 hand would be where they deal out 1.3 decks. That gets me a SCORE of almost 50. If the rules are any worse than this then you have to play at deeper penetrations. If the rules are better than this (S17 or LS) you could play at shallower penetrations.
