    SCAA: extreme distribution of Aces & 10s

    thanks, Don.
    1) so the adv in such case(TC 10) is close to normal TC 10,
    just a bit less due to the shortage of Aces?
    2) besides, rich in 10 would bust the dealer more often but if extra 10s appear when player hit or DD, is it adv/disadv to player??? lets say it is TC+4.
    of cos it is good when u Double at 9,10,11 to hit a 10.
    but u lose the stiff hand 12~16 vs 789,10,Ace when u hit 10
    n it is more likely to happen.
    really want to get the answer as it puzzled me years.

    I don't know if "a bit" is a fair description. With lots of tens but few aces, we push a lot with 20-20, and we lose the chance at the 3 to 2 payoff for a natural. So, the edge is surely not "close" to that of the same count with a proper distribution.

    There are tradeoffs, but, on balance, surely extra tens are a great help to the player. The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. That is why the EOR of a ten is so positive in favor of the player.
