    4/6 only with surrender offered, 6/8 would not play even with surrender. With surrender 4.5/6 is playable with anything over adding significant EV.

    even at 2x600 my actual hourly EV was probably hardly 100$/hr).
    my tightest spread game usual max $200 sometimes $250 earns that and more. Away from home crushes that with higher spreads.

    Seriously, some advanced strategies to disguise abilities and avoid back off would help you immensely.

    Really? I know smallcap and other pros have played 5/8 with surrender (though probably ES10 and comps factored in). But yeah I know of no pro that has played 4/6 H17 without surrender. It is a beatable game in theory just the N0 is larger. With bets adjusted appropriately to maintain ROR, I don't see why not.

    Review more closely - I said 4/6 with surrender.

    Have at it.

    You would need a massive bankroll in relation to max bets, be prepared to take a BIG hit to play that variance games. I know pros who have taken a 30kk hit over a weekend playing that shit. Also, to play that huge variance roller coaster you need to play massive hours to smooth that graph out. I no longer put in the hours to play that kind of game.
