"Cut"/Pen
Using CBJN's definition of "cut," what pen level should I set on CV for SD with a 0.5 cut and DD with a 0.8 cut?
What is the average number of cards per hand?

Yes, I know that .5 equals 50%. The problem is an ambiguity with the definition of "penetration," how that compares to "cut," and which one CV uses. The bj21.com glossary defines it as "How deeply into the pack or shoe a dealer goes before shuffling." That definition suggests that if the cut card is at 26 in SD and the dealer normally deals 36 cards, the pen is 70%.
After counting the number of cards dealt before CV displays the cut card, I see that its definition is the same as CBJN. I think the definition in the glossary should be modified.
Your comment helped me clarify the matter. Thanks.
I know what you mean CherokeeKid,
CBJN is the only one giving penetrations that way.
If you use CV, 75% pen. on a double deck game means that you will see 78 cards before the cut card. In a 6 decks shoe game, 75% means you will see 234 cards before the cut card. Much simple this way.
Hope this helps.
