COMBINATORIAL DEPLETION · DEP126

How Removing Zero-Value Group (10/J/Q/K) at 291 Cards Affects B4 Draw 2-7 Gate (DEP126)

Under combinatorial state [DEP126] (70% penetration, 125 cards remaining), Zero-Value Group (10/J/Q/K) concentration stands at 35/125 (28.00% vs 30.77%), altering how often the Banker 4 active six-card draw window against 2..7 fires.

[DEP126-B] Across remaining coups in [DEP126], fewer Zero-Value Group (10/J/Q/K) (0-point) cards tilt Player 0..5 draw rate by -35 bps and Banker stand rate by 10 bps, though BANKER_TABLEAU[4][3]=true invariably draws a sixth card.

Why DEP126 Card Depletion Never Changes Tableau Law or Derived Road Meaning

[DEP126-C9] Auditioning [DEP126] at depth, Player opens 5 + 3 -> 8 while Banker opens 4 -> 3 across 6c (P in [DEP126]). Across [DEP126] 8-deck shoes, main-bet house edge stays near 1.06% (Banker) and 1.24% (Player), and logging P onto [DEP126] BBPPPBBPBB updates derived roads by Big Road column symmetry.

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythWhen Zero-Value Group (10/J/Q/K) is depleted to 35/125 in DEP126, the dealer can choose to stand on a drawing Banker total.
TruthPunto Banco third-card rules are 100% mandatory: BANKER_TABLEAU[4][3] remains true at every shoe depth.
MythDeep shoe penetration at 291/416 cards in DEP126 makes Red on Big Eye Boy mean Banker.
TruthOn Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Pig, Red (=) always signals repeating Big Road structure and Blue (≠) signals a break.
