Abstract: In 1998, Ciucu published "No-feedback card guessing for dovetail shuffles", an article which gives the optimal guessing strategy for $n$ cards ($n$ even) after $k$ riffle shuffles whenever $k>2lo{g}_{2}left(night)$. We discuss in this article the optimal guessing strategy and the asymptotic (in $n$) expected number of correct guesses for any fixed $kgeq1$. This complements the work achieved two decades ago by Ciucu.
