Sounds about right with no other strategy variations (nt)
If you call these figures preposterous and outrageous how would you qualify those stated by Wong in his PBJ chapter 4?
It is clear that the overall win contribution achievable with insurance also depends on the rules and the pen. The worse the rules the higher the contribution and the worse the pen the lower the contribution.
In my sim, I assumed ENHC and no double on any nor RSA let alone surrender with a pen of 5/6.Besides I used a "european" spread of 1/30 and play all because alone at the table.
Keep in mind that a single insurance situation with TC+10 is worth 8% of a maxbet which represents about 40% of the hourly win rate.

Which happens how often, about once a week? Or less??
Let's not beat this to death. Your 1-30 and play alone and other assumptiuons are unrealistic to me. But, they're your assumptions, so knock yourself out. Under normal circumstances, I just don't see insurance being worth that much to the player.
Maybe I'm wrong.
