Brian, 95.82% is correct. The only thing you're doing wrong is expecting increased payoffs for less frequent hands to compensate for the big 12% loss resulting from cutting the two-pair payoff in half. The payoffs for the high frequency hands at the low end of the schedule are always the most important.

I have found a version of Aces and Faces that I believe should have a
higher total return than 10/7 Double Bonus ... the game pays in credits
4000 for a Royal, 400 for 4 Aces, 250 for a straight flush, 200 for
Kings, Queens or Jacks, 125 for 2-10, 50 for Full House, 40 for a
Flush, 30 for a Straight, 15 for 3 of a kind, 5 for two pair, 5 for 1
pair. ... This 10/8/6 version ought to return significantly more than
10/7/5 Double Bonus( total return = 100.17) ... Here is my problem ...
when I enter this game into Win Poker and run the Game Analysis it
tells me that the return is only 95.82 ... What in the world am I doing
wrong?!?
