This strategy is very easy to learn as it is quite similar to the basic strategy. Its edge is that it tells you how to maximize the value of your high hands. It also tells you when you can maximize the value of your low hands and when to split pairs, and more. If you have no problems understanding the basic strategy – which I assume you already know – then you will not have any problems with the Denenberg Strategy.
Based on tests, it has been showed that the Denenberg Strategy decreases your losses when playing pai gow.

This will still be beneficial to you and you can just apply the different stages of the strategy as you learn them. As you continue to learn the strategy, you can practice what you know.
