Ok, I may feel like my IQ and my personal shoe size are roughly equivalent for asking this but I'm reading and enjoying DS's book BJ Attack, Third Addition. Chapter two examines playing styles and among other things impacts on SD and win rates for back-counting versus play all in various shoe sizes. According to Wong's frequency distribution when looking at 100 hands in a 4, 6 and 8 deck shoe, the number of hands at TC +1 and above drops as shoe size goes up. 29.18 for 4. 26.77 for 6 and 24.51 for 8. All other factors appear to be constant with penetration at 75% and 100 hands per hour. Is the reason for a less frequent TC count that it requires a higher real count to reach a true count of +1 because the denominator for calculating true count will be larger in the eight shoe deck, requiring a higher real count to yield the same TC?
