Value of knowing unused cards without chaging bets
In online casinos, it is common to be able to play 5 hands in 6D games with 0.4% casino edge, that shuffle after every round.
It occurred to me that in the 5th hand, you already have valueable information that can lead to better playing decisions. As an example, you can deviate from basic strategy in 16 vs 10 or 15 vs 10 depending on the cards that are out of the deck from the previous hands.
Wondering if anyone has calculated what the casino edge would be in the 5th hand if we played the perfect strategy from a computer.
Keep in mind you cannot change your bet size, but only the way you play the hand
What would it be in a 7 hand game.
I assume the edge does not go to the player or even close, but depending on the new casino edge it might make some promotions worth it
Thanks in advance,

The benefit is as small as you think. You won't need a computer as only a few hands will be affected. 16 vs. 10, will be the big one, but you won't be anywhere near what it would take to stand on 15 vs. 10 in a 6D game. Then assuming S17, A2 vs. 5 and 12 vs. 4. So you would devise some simple, special counts targeting those decisions. A good rule of thumb might be if you saw a 5, you stand on 16 vs. 10. If you're playing through a wagering requirement it would be worth something.
