I believe that if a normal person spends x amount of time learning and
practicing a penalty-free strategy or x amount of time learning and
practicing a strategy with penalty cards, he will play the penalty-free
strategy more accurately overall and probably achieve a higher ER
accuracy with the penalty free strategy than he would with the more
complex strategy.

I was playing NSUD (the game you invented back in the late 50's) the other
night and started thinking about penalty cards. I realized I slow down
sometimes just to scan the two or more choices in the dealt five cards. When I looked
at penalty card for a st made with a Deuce I didn't feel I slowed more than
normal. So what's the big deal? What would the non penalty way be of looking
at W567 unsuited in NSUD? And, how much do you weigh?

BTW, I saw the former un-anonymous vpFREE administrator playing "your" game
and noticed he was playing at a steadier cadence than any other player I've
seen, never varied his speed. It was not real fast but very steady. Anybody
else notice that about the un-anonymous former administrator?

I'll address the speed issue inmore detail later. But if you have ever missed a low pair (and you know you have) you know you have also missed pen cards. Looking for them has to add at some time to the card scan. Or to put it another way, not having to look for them has to simplify the card scan.

What would the non penalty way be of looking at W567 unsuited in NSUD?

Here's the placement from FVP:
1 Wild + 4 Card Flush, (Wild Flush)
1 Wild + 3 Card Straight Flush, W345, W456, inside (4 low-Q hi), or open (5 low - J hi) 1 Wild + 4 Card Straight, (Wild Straight)

And, how much do you weigh?

If I told you I'd have to kill you. (If I don't lose weight it will probably kill me.)
