COMBINATORIAL DEPLETION · DEP271

How Removing Ace (A) at 341 Cards Affects B6 Draw 6-7 Gate (DEP271)

Tracking [DEP271] across 341/416 dealt cards leaves 2 remaining Ace (A) cards in the 75-card stub (2.67% vs baseline 7.69%), reshaping probabilities for the Banker 6 two-value sixth-card trigger against 6 or 7.

[DEP271-B] Point value 1 (Ace (A)) directly feeds two-card sums: depleting it alters Player draw likelihood by -29 bps and Banker stand frequency by 10 bps, while Banker 6 vs P3=8 always stands pat on five cards.
