    7,8,9 are all very significant in this situation. For the OP's context, the chart should be correct, Player 11, receive 8, dealer 10. I would imagine the 7 and 8 would carry large -ev when removed, the simulation should have already accounted for all of that though.
    Maman died today. Or yesterday maybe, I don't know.

    If you are tracking them it hasn't. Their influence being strong also may demand some risk aversion when not having the extra middle card info. That will depend on your style of play and your BR. I know when I was a red chipper I wanted more certainty as your only real defense against ruin. Now I can easily afford large swings so I have loosened up some but I still like high degree of certainty to be a part of the way I play.
