    Norm, would you please explain with different terms what you meant by "Not sure of the usefulness of looking at specific instances. I avoid looking at one off situations as I want to blend in the time taken to find them. But, always willing to listen."

    For instance,
    1) Are you contrasting 'specific instances' (of non-simmed Blackjack) with sims of billions of hands?
    2) What is an example of a 'one off situation?'
    3) What did you mean about 'blending in the time taken to find them.'?

    Thanks.

    Generally, I want to look at your hourly rates and risk as opposed to if a certain situation occurs, what is the possible gain.

    Hole carding and next carding advantages could be computed with a CA that computes the ev for any dealer/player hand composition. I think k_c's and mine are capable of doing that. I have attached some old work of mine that calculates the advantage of always steering a 10 to a dealer's hand.
