Aces $ Bonus --- was Bob Dancer's column (XVP)

I just wanted to mention that I sent the below post just a few minutes after
BD posted his response, around ten last night. Anyone else seeing these long
delays (13 hours!) before posts appear? A Yahoo problem, I assume? Or maybe
AOL?

I make it six equally likely ways. You omitted ACxSE and ACxES. This
reduces
the value of hitting the 3600 coin bonus by one-third of your calculated
$2.50, to about $1.67. Same answer to the original question--two pair is
best by
even more than you indicated.

The four equally-likely ways you can get the four aces positionwise are
ACESx, ACExS, ACSEx, and ACSxE --- where the x refers to the non-ace.
