Cut Card Effect at a Crowded Table

Earlier I posted some data on the cut card effect at various penetrations. I posted data for a single deck, head-on game.

I have done some follow-up runs for more crowded tables. Here the CC effect is more volatile with penetration. Below I post the data for 6 players, at a single deck game. Note that at some placements (cutting off 38 cards) the effect is just awful. It can depress the effective pre-deal True Count to almost half a HiLo point. However, for other placements, (like 24 cards) the effect is almost negligible.

Data for 6 players v dealer Single Deck

CC =  35    Ave TC =  -0.321   SE =   0.00162   Ave Rounds =  1.15
CC =  36    Ave TC =  -0.173   SE =   0.00117   Ave Rounds =  1.07
CC =  37    Ave TC =  -0.101   SE =   0.00092   Ave Rounds =  1.05
CC =  38    Ave TC =   0.000   SE =   0.00000   Ave Rounds =  1.00

The data above are in a format similar to the earlier post. It is for 6 players. I have done data for other sets, which I will post below.
