Reference only

The chart for these rules

Strategy verification pending

This preset cannot be selected for graded practice yet. Sharper Edge never guesses: every practice profile is graded against a published, independently cross-checked strategy chart, and this combination of rules has not been verified against two independent references. Until it is, the profile is reference-only — use it to compare tables, not to train. OBO protects added split and double wagers, while the round still follows no-hole-card timing.
