Hi Eliot - interesting outcome. Could I comment that initially I didn't understand what the column "EV" meant (it ranged from 8 to -8, presumably because there's a limit of three splits or four hands) but I had read it as the Expected Value (in %) based on the count at the time! When I read the 3CP one, the penny dropped. Cheers.

Yes, the payouts in BJ are from -8 to 8, and the sheet gives the frequency of occurrence of each pay.
