Questions about Player Advantage and 'Next Card is An Ace' Math

[James989]

Can anyone share some insight regarding my 2 questions above? It would be much appreciated.

I can do the simulations as below :-

1) Remove an ACE from double deck, shuffle those remaining 103 cards.
2) Insert randomly that ACE between 1st and 6th card.
3) Play head up with dealer using basic strategy and record the win/loss
4) Shuffle after each round.
5) Repeat above for million rounds to calculate the EV

Is that what you want ? Please note that I did the similar sim for my own game.

No. He said whenever there is the RANK of 6 as a card appearing, an ace follows it as the next card. Or, whenever there is a 10-value card card appearing. But, it isn't at all clear to me what he means by "an ace will be the very next card." Where does the 6 appear? Am I playing alone at the table? Was the 6 the last card out of the pack, such that I now know I'm going to get the ace? The question needs to be clarified.

Thanks for clarification.

Then I agree with your question : Where does the 6 appear?
