Effect of Card Removal in Blackjack
Introduction
The table displayed below illustrates how the expected value for the player changes when one card from each type is removed from a six-deck shoe. The calculations are based on these conditions: doubling allowed on any two cards, allowed to double after splitting, splitting permitted only once, and adjusted strategies reflecting the altered deck composition.
