Card of the Day

#1

What does a 100 coin bonus add to 10/7, 9/6 Job, 8/5 Bon?
What do 50 coins add? Is it half?
Please reply in percentages.

Thanks

Using a rough average of 425 hands/hr for any given quad (if the quad
in question is J-A it will hit slightly more often than others, due to
the fact that you often hold a singleton J, for example, but never a
singleton 5, etc.), multiply that by 13 to get a frequency for that
particular quad: 5500 hands to get a particular quad.

The 100-coin bonus is 20 BETS so we figure we are getting an
additional 20 bets every 5525 hands or so. 1% of 5500 is 55 so we are
getting about 20/55, or 4/11, or about a .36% increase to our EV with
this promo.

By the same math, a 50-coin bonus is worth .18 plus to EV.

Just about the only strategy variation this creates, as far as I am
aware, is at 10/7 DB, if the COD is Aces, then you should break two
pair, AAxx(). I don't think it enhances the value of a singleton A
enough to change the A+face card with one flush penalty play. I
haven't bothered to find out since the COD is almost always 5-10 these
days.

cycle is about 5000 for each high card quad
5500 for each low card quad
doesn't vary much as long as no wild cards
100 coin high card cod = 100/5/5000 = .4%
