Re: Between the Sheets EV
Assuming it's a single deck, and the two faced cards are different, you have 6 ways to lose 2 units; 4*G ways to win 1 unit from a gap of size G; and 44-4*G ways to lose 1 unit.
You want EV = 6*(-2)+4G-(44-4G)>0. -12 + 4G - 44 + 4G > 0 8G - 56 > 0 G > 7. That is, the game is -EV with a gap of 6 or less, neutral with a gap of 7, +EV with a gap of 8 or more. Left as exercise to the reader to calculate how often a sufficiently large gap will come up. |

Everything else is logical, I just can't seem to put my finger on that number. |

Re: Between the Sheets EV
I play without antes, so people can just bet whenever they feel like it. Almost all my friends have the misconception that you should bet a lot on something like K 2, but they think that it is stupid to bet a lot on something like J2 or Q3. Optimal play would be potting everything over a 7 gapper. Which I did last time I played and my friends all laughed at me when when I potted a massive pot with J2 and posted. So they all think I'm an idiot and the game goes on. I'll get em eventually.

Re: Between the Sheets EV
The 44 are the number of cards that can come that will win or lose 1 bet.
52 cards in the deck less 2 cards on the board and 6 cards that will lose 2 bets = 44 cards. |
