Topics like this could be much more beneficial to others (less
experienced vp players and especially beginners), I think, if more
explanations follows the proper and/or improper HOLDS.

In the example:
Hold W789 if the fifth card is a Q, K, or A.

Why?
There seems to be many rules involved with number "3" but, very
little or no details as to why only Hold this or that.

...just a thought...

Typo - should be T or J.

Or unsuited 4.
   
  >Hold W89T if the fifth card is a 3, 4, K, or A (where the K or A must be unsuited with the T).
   
  In other words, always hold W89T. It's redundant to mention the possible 3 card wild royal here, as it appears first (higher up) in the strategy. Otherwise you'd have to mention the straights, too: "If the 5th card is a 6,7,J, or Q, hold the straight". Strategies are implied to be top-down, and the player should select the first match.
   
  >Hold W9TJ if the fifth card is a 3, 4, 5, or A (where the A must be unsuited with the J and T).

Ditto - always hold W9TJ.

I only noticed two of those. But, you did miss one :slight_smile: Bob wrote:

"Going for the straight, you get a 10-coin straight or nothing at

when referring to holding W567.
