 The
Denenberg Strategy.
This is the flagship of what PaiGow.com has to
offer you. An improved, computer-designed strategy, far better than the
traditional strategy that is used worldwide. The Denenberg Strategy gives
you an additional .68% in expected return over the traditional strategy,
which approximately cuts the house's advantage over you in half. For more
on the Denenberg Strategy explore these links:

Our
detailed explanation of the Denenberg Strategy.
-
A
calculator that allows
you to compute exactly
how
much the Denenberg Strategy would be worth to you, depending on how
much you bet and how often you play.
-
For those who are technically minded, Chapter 9 of the PaiGow.com Tutorials
discusses how the Denenberg Strategy was designed.
Member
practice areas. The practice areas are crucial for learning the
Denenberg Strategy. You can practice the Denenberg Strategy
online, so you can play it accurately at the Pai Gow table.
Our online programs are designed to maximize your learning experience. Each of the 35,000+ practice deals offers help with
that deal's strategy rule, and has a link to the exact page in the
Tutorial that explains how to play that deal. As
a preview, you can visit the
practice
area that allows you to practice the traditional strategy.
When you become a member of PaiGow.com, you will be able to practice the Denenberg Strategy in the same fashion.

of deals. PaiGow.com members have access to utilities that allow
them to statistically analyze any deal. You select the four tiles of a
deal, and you
are shown how often you will win, lose, or push, and your expected return,
depending on which division of the tiles you play. Here is an example of the results of a deal analysis:

Complete
optimal strategy. As we discuss in Tutorial Chapter
9: Designing the Denenberg Strategy, the Denenberg Strategy gives you 94% of the boost
in expected return that you would get from
playing a complete optimal strategy. The other 6% of improvement in expected return
is found in 154 deals that the Denenberg
Strategy handles non-optimally. Members of PaiGow.com can peruse tables that
list those 154 deals in detail, so that you can look for your own patterns, make
up new rules if you wish, or just find a few interesting deals whose optimal
play you wish to remember.

Denenberg Strategy dictates
-
the Denenberg Strategy
rule that governs the deal
-
how the deal is played
optimally
-
the
expected
return of playing each division, and
-
the difference in expected return, which
represents the relative importance of playing that deal optimally.
