Basic Strategy vs. Composition Depentant vs. Zen Count Strategy changes

Game

2D S17 DAS RSA(NO) %60 PEN


Wizards calculator shows house edge
.25 for Basic Strategy
.17 for Composition Strategy


if you gain .08 for comp what do you gain for Zen count strategy?


Also why is this listed as .19 under the blackjack survey

The house edge figures in the survey come directly from the Current Blackjack Newsletter, published by Pi Yee Press. I just publish what they give me. We have slight differences in house edge figures, likely due to different assumptions on strategy, shuffling rules, and technique of the analysis.

I understand that you get different absolute values, but do you get the same relative values? Do you get the same rank order for games?

Also there are sometimes simple errors in the numbers, i.e. where a the same game in two different places has a radically different EV. Do you transcribe numbers by hand, or do you download electronically?

i understand there are small dffernces in calculation methods

I am mostly interested in how much I am gaining by using the Staregy changes (Zen count) vs using basic Strategy all the time

I am having a very hard time finding an answer to this

Look all over internet and in my Blackjack books

Nobody puts a number on how much you gain


How about a ball park figure

.02%
.05%
.10%


I am guessing it close to one of those

anyone??
