Suited BJ occurs once every 84.3 hands.
Every 84.3 hands you will earn an extra .5 units. Thus you will earn an extra .5/84.3 units per hand, or .00593 extra units per hand, or .59%
How 'bout that?

If you could find the time to break away from fighting those evil casinos for one more question I'd be very greatful.Should I still keep my HiLo insurance # as 3 or change it to 4 when I have the suited.Thanx hun.
Insurance is a side bet and is not related to the hand you are holding. The insurance index remains the same.

Take insurance! Put your money out on the insurance bar, and make that bet at +3. If they say "even money" you can forget about it. Tell them you don't want no stinking even money, you want to take insurance!
Here is the analysis.
Even money for suited BJ paying 2-1:
You bet $10, you stand to win $20.
If you take even money, then your EV is +$10 per suited BJ against the dealer's A.
If you don't take even money, then roughly 4/13 of the time you will push the $10, but 9/13 of the time you will win $20 (suited pays 2/1).
Thus, you will win (on average) per suited BJ:
20*(9/13) = $13.85.
Thus, taking even money costs you 38.5 cents on the dollar in this case (38.5%). There is no index that can make up for a 38% deficit.
