    Number of hands to play

    1. In Professional Blackjack and BJA3, playing heads up, we should play 1 hand until we're capped by table max, then we spread to 2. When I compare the sims in cvcx, playing one hand heads up doesn't seem to generate the same EV as playing 2 hands, heads up, at a true 2

    I believe the spread at the time was:
    1x75
    2x75
    2x150
    2x225
    2x300
    2x375

    Compared to
    1x75
    1x100
    1x200
    1x300
    1x400
    1x500

    When playing 2 hands, each individual bet would be 75% of what the corresponding single-hand hand is below it.

    So, for example, at a true six or higher, I should play 2 hands of 375 or 1 hand of 500.

    The results are playing 200 rounds per hour, h17, das, rsa, sr, using hi low variant, I get:

    170 an hour playing 2 hands at 1.8%RoR compared to

    130 an hour playing 1 hand at 2.1% RoR


    Both books claim more EV is to be made by playing 1 hand.

    Even when I boost the 1-hand sim to 225 rph I get 145 an hour.


    Any ideas on what option i could be forgetting about?
