They play a part, but mostly (and I say that because in goal-oriented strategies such as mine they play a slightly more important part) only as far as giving you a few more hands to play--and most probably, lose anyway--before you leave. They are greatly overrated, and mostly serve to feed into the meaningless +EV & -EV frenzy, which any intelligent player knows is of so little difference that in any given session (which is how everyone approaches play whether they like the sound of it or not) that the stat is totally and irrevocably irrelevant.
I've been playing DDBP since 1999 and the 10/6 version whenever and wherever I can find it in the casinos I play at and in the denominations I play, and I've never seen or even heard of one that pays 200 credits for a SF. It doesn't make sense either. I HAVE seen 10/7 DBP pay tables with a 300 credit SF though. So is this a real casino pay table, and if so, where?
