two deck penetration

How much penetration in a two deck game do you need. Also If you have a +5 true count. What is the percentage you will wind that particular hand. What about +6 and other numbers. I never see any figures talking about this. At +5 is your edge on that particular hand 52%? I realize it depends on the rules, but given basic standard rules does anyone have a clear cut answer? thanks for anybody's response.

true count edge

The rule of thumb that I use is that for every +1 true count you can add .5% to the player edge. So, if you are starting at a game with a .5% house edge, a +5 true count means that the player has a 2% edge on that hand. This means that on average you will win $2 for every $100 bet.

Jay,

Answers to these types of questions are given at the bjstats website. From the link below, at a TC of +5 (hi-lo), the player's edge is 4.276%; at +6, the edge rises to 5.110%. These values are for 2 Decks, 75% penetration, 1-8 spread, no cover, S17, DAS, and five players; other penetrations, bet spreads, rules sets, and number of players will give different results.

Another of the charts there gives the following player advantages by hand depth:

Hand Edge
1. -0.190%
2. 0.285%
3. 1.038%
4. 1.454%
5. 2.304%
6. 2.208%
7. 14.095%
