another aggressive example:
you have J4 offsuit.
flop 77Q
basic strategy says bet 1x on J high on the river.
would you bet 2x on the flop?
You are betting one time on the river because you are making one bet to protect two bets. It is definitely not a 2x bet.

And if the board was not paired, and there was another over card on the board, I would be reluctant to call since I'm not going to get paid off on the ante despite that it may fall under the 21 out card rule.

Which of the wiz's basic strategy would you deviate from if you saw another players cards?
For me, it would be betting 4x for flushes and low pairs.
Ie: q6 suited if another player has 2 of same suit or pair of 5s if you see another player having a 5

I try not to look at other player's cards. So I don't deviate from BS. Then again, I have very few winning sessions. The dealer just seems to always get the one card to beat my hand - in particular holding an Ace and betting 4X. I don't believe knowing other cards and altering BS improves the return, if at all.

I don't think I agree. Any over card on the board is a kicker the dealer doesn't have. KQxxx, without 4 to a flush or outside straight still gives the dealer only 19. 15 will cost your ante, blind, and play. 4 will only cost blind and play. I would play the jack kicker either way qx (pair or 2 overcards on the board ).
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

30hrs played, avg bet $100 ($50 ante,$50 blinds),Theo $5100
Uth is technically 2.185% he.
Doing simple math, my casino thinks 75 hands per hr??
Edit:
Oh man, I reread the wiz's article.
The max Royal payout is$5000 aka $10 ante.
So the true payout for $50 ante is $25k.
For every $100 I'm shorted of true payout, it's costing me .3%.
So being shorted $20k, the house edge is 60%???
That can't be right.
What's wrong with my math?

As a reminder, the Blind bet should pay 500 to 1 with a royal flush. A max $5,000 win on a $50 Blind bet is 100 to 1 only.
The probability of a winning player royal flush (not counting a royal on the board, which would push) is 4*combin(47,2)/combin(52,7) - 4/combin(52,5) = 0.00003078.
Getting shortchanged 400 units with every winning royal costs the player 0.00003078 * 400 = 1.23%.

lost $1500 (two $750 sessions) playing $15 ante + $15 blind. (no Trips bet)

but but but i just sat down...

Relative to the Ante bet, the variance is 24.40 and the standard deviation is 4.94. Similar to video poker.
