COMBINATORIAL DEPLETION · DEP255

How Removing Queen (Q) at 291 Cards Affects B6 Draw 6-7 Gate (DEP255)

Card-removal record [DEP255] inspects 125 remaining cards after 291 are burned or dealt; holding 6 Queen (Q) cards (4.80% vs 7.69%) perturbs the Banker 6 two-value sixth-card trigger against 6 or 7.

[DEP255-B] In [DEP255], 0-point Queen (Q) depletion nudges Player's third-card draw rate (-14 bps) and Banker's pat rate (10 bps), while B=6 vs P3=8 strictly stands pat on five cards.
