COMBINATORIAL DEPLETION · DEP015

How Removing Ten (10) at 166 Cards Affects B3 vs P3=8 Shade (DEP015)

[DEP015] At 166 cards dealt (40% shoe depth, 250 undealt), removing 17 copies of Ten (10) leaves 15/250 (6.00% vs fresh-shoe 7.69%) entering the Banker 3 standing exception on Player third-card 8.

[DEP015-B] Because Ten (10) carries point value 0, thinning this rank shifts Player 0..5 drawing frequency by -17 bps and Banker standing frequency by 20 bps while BANKER_TABLEAU[3][8]=false still stands pat on five cards.

Why DEP015 Card Depletion Never Changes Tableau Law or Derived Road Meaning

[DEP015-C12] Auditioning [DEP015] at depth, Player opens 2 + 8 -> 0 while Banker opens 3 -> 3 across 5c (B in [DEP015]).

TruthPunto Banco third-card rules are 100% mandatory: BANKER_TABLEAU[3][8] remains false at every shoe depth.

TruthOn Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Pig, Red (=) always signals repeating Big Road structure and Blue (≠) signals a break.
