    But it turns out that playing on is very slightly correct which surprises
    me given the above analysis.

    The money-game rollout below says to cash, so it has something to do
    with the match score and the MET.

    So isn't it possible that you're reporting an analysis/rollout difference rather than a match/money difference?

    I did a match score rollout as well and it confirmed the
    4-ply analysis. Maybe I'll post it later, but I have to
    run now.
