In your above example, you have left yourself with 50% pen three decks in the discard tray that you did not see and one deck still left behind the cut card. Your hourly EV is not going to stay the same. With 50% pen in an 8 deck game you will have very few chances to make big bets. Don't mess with that one deck cut that you already have, it is the best thing that you have going for you as far as the house policy set rules.
