I am not going to go through all calculations, but I do have a
starting point to determine the answer to bjork73's question.
In every version of VP, there are 10 starting points for a
straight. They can go from Ace to 5, through Ten to Ace. Bjork is
suggesting 13 starting points, every card can be the "low" card in a
straight. Therefore, the number of straights increases by 30 %. Ditto
for straight flushes.
You can do the calculations from this point on.
