There are multicard deviations for each matchup. Some have 3 card indices different than the 2 card index. They all have a 4 card index, a 5 card index and a 6 or more card index. Some matchups have 678 and 777 bonus draw indices for 2 card hands for mixed, suited, and spaded hands. The adjustment for each type of bonus draw varies by hand matchup. In other words general adjustments to apply to any hand total are very weak. To put it in a way that takes the increased betting advantage unique to my system out of the equation, flat betting with general adjustments for bonus draws with the playing count I use moved the HE by .06 percentage points, while comprehensive indices for my playing count for each matchup for all possible types of potential bonus draws the HE was moved by .23 percentage points for flat betting.
