Surely, considering the plays that are sacrificed, it's easy, by intuition, to guess that the majority is lost to the ten, but I've never seen that value quantified. Nice job!
So, since the rest of the game plays like normal BJ, it would appear that all you're looking for, in indices, are for doubling 11 vs. T and splitting 8,8 vs. T. There is no index for the latter; you just don't do it! As for the former, I want to consult with Gronbog and/or Cacarulo about a discrepancy we have with a value Wong gives on p. 85 of Professional Blackjack. That index is +4, which differs greatly from the one we give on P. 314, which is +11. I'll get to the bottom of it.
