I'm a week late in commenting on this, but it's really difficult to
  get at my email in Laughlin - where I just enjoyed 8 glorious days
  of sunshine and golf. On my return I had 600 emails to plough through.
   
  On to business. I quickly scanned this article, on Bonus Poker
  minutae and stopped dead in my tracks about the thrid paragraph.
   
  Mr. Dancer states that "Whether this (fifth card) is suited with the
  queen or not is irrelevant."
   
  Sorry to disagree with you Bob, but this just ain't so. I suggest we
  prefer the RF with 2 pay cards to the 4-card inside straight with a ten.
   
  Consider the following hand "AQ" "JT7"
   - the chart with the article indicates you recommend holding the AQJT
    as opposed to the AQ RF.
   
  - both Winpoker and VPTUTOR indicate the following:
    AQ 2.8332
  AQJT 2.6596
   
  Can I perhaps interest you in one of my strategy cards for this game? : > )
   
  Respectfully yours,
   
  Brian
   
  PS - otherwise, a very excellent column.

Just to complete the thought, the table also erroneously
  recommends keeping the SF3 over RF2 in the "AQ" "J97"
  and "AQ" "J87" cases.
   
  Correct play is:
  AQ 2.8332
  SF3 2.4838

Right you are. When I wrote that line I was thinking of cases where the
fifth card was lower in rank than the seven. I was not thinking about
2-card royals. Thanx for the correction.
