strategy, 1 deck versus N decks

[dex2003]

Anyone know the logical underpinnings as to why there are minor variations in basic strategy, per the commonly published tables, with one deck versus multiple decks?

Yep. The cards in play have a bigger impact on cards remaing with but one deck.

If you have 7,7v7, what are the chances of pulling another 7? With one deck, it's 1/49=2.0%, with 8 decks, its 29/413=7.0%

Mr. Ed, I always appreciate your posts. You say things clearly with minimum fuss for us non-math people.

[Mr. Ed]

You are quite welcome, D.

I get a lot of enjoyment with the numbers behind BJ and I try to share a little bit of that fun with others. I'm glad to see it's working! :D
