jblaze: advantage gain?

[jblaze]

I have read a few messages over at cardcounter about some (bogus) quasi hole carding activity. I want to know, say you can discern the dealers hole card when he has an ace or ten showing. what sort of advantage could you expect from this, for near 100% accuracy? Just looking for a ballpark figure, since counting and other factors would affect advantage. I realize the largest gain would come from perfect insurance play, but no can do. card is not discerned until after insurance bet made.

I haven?t done any calculations or sims, but knowing the dealer?s hole card whenever the dealer had a 10 upcard would give the player a significant edge.

Hole card play is not an appropriate topic for a public forum.
