COMBINATORIAL DEPLETION · DEP143

How Removing Queen (Q) at 104 Cards Affects B5 Draw 4-7 Gate (DEP143)

Card-removal record [DEP143] inspects 312 remaining cards after 104 are burned or dealt; holding 20 Queen (Q) cards (6.41% vs 7.69%) perturbs the Banker 5 four-value draw threshold against 4..7.

[DEP143-B] In [DEP143], 0-point Queen (Q) depletion nudges Player's third-card draw rate (-19 bps) and Banker's pat rate (15 bps), while B=5 vs P3=6 strictly draws a sixth card.
