Putting the cheat sheet in the first post, reasoning and clarifications will go in future posts.
Standard Offer (aka optional 23) Formula: offer = board value Use These: All the time (duh)
No-23 Offer Formula: offer = board value + 23 value (or) board value = offer - 23 value Use These: When the player would normally want to take 23 (ie this offer must always be larger than the standard offer)
Forced-23 Offer Formula: offer = board value - 23 value (or) board value = offer + 23 value Use These: When the player would normally want to avoid 23 (ie this offer must always be larger than the standard offer)
Combination Offer (aka cash+prize offer) Treat the cash component as forced-23 and the prize component as no-23, then sum the two together. The total should be (roughly) equal to the board value. Use these: These offers are more flexible, but the typical use is when the player would normally want to avoid 23 at their stake level but would be more interested in it at a lower stake level.
Tandem Offer (where offer 1 is no-23, offer 2 is forced-23) The larger offer should be calculated as normal, but the smaller offer should actually be calculated according to the standard offer. Use these: Whenever you are using either no-23 or forced-23, and want to make the choice between them clearer.
Modified 23 Offer (eg no-upside 23 / no-downside 23) Formula: offer + modified 23 value = no-23 offer (or) offer = no-23 offer - modified 23 value (or) board value = offer + modified 23 value - standard 23 value (if positive) (For this formula, use the standard offer instead of the no-23 offer if it would be larger) Use these: At anytime, with caution.
