    I think that the comment by RCJH re: Sharky's reaction is on point.
    Let's say you are playing BJ at a $5 to $500 table. You want to put
    the pit critter at ease. You're aware that your bet-spread will be
    scrutinized. You decide to spread $20 to $100 because the table
    conditions are very good. So is your skill level. You very much want
    to preserve the "welcome mat." You do not need to bet $100 and have
    Table Max" called out. Bet 1/2 of the table max. You bet $50. What is
    the cost to you? The house edge varies, but assuming a double deck
    H17 RSA game, it is taken to be 0.35%; meaning that your (long-term)
    "cost" is $0.70. That is a reasonable price to pay, as your winning the
    hand will be a welcome event, and even losing the hand will give you the
    "green light' to spread from $10 to $50 without heat - at least for awhile.

    ...and what part of the OP's comment of "zero heat" do you not understand???....go ahead...change the rules to suit

    that's the problem w/ commenting here....the reading comprehension is really pathetic...folks don't know the difference between "and", and "or", either (someone foolishly commenting that you need >25% pen AND LS to play 8D???....I never heard anything so absurd, from someone I had respected, no less)
