Change the suit of the three in the last hand, it looks like a typo.

Nope. No typo. Flush4 (AKTx) is a better hold than RF3 (AKT).

Not according to win poker for iPhone. For JoB. I too thought that was a penalty card situation where you would hold AKT unless there was a flush and straight penalty card, where in such a case you would hold AKTx.

Must be a flaw in the iphone app. Both WinPoker and the Wizard of Odds' site say that, in 9/6 Jacks, Flush4 has a better EV, albeit by a tiny amount.

If the fifth card is a T, J, Q, or K, then you draw to the FL4.

Which is one of only six differences between Basic and Advanced Strategy. Easy game!

Flush-"5" games are a completely different story.

Thanks for your confidence in me. I guess you saw the fixed column and thought:

A. Oh I guess this guy's English is so bad that he can't explain the difference between a strategy error and a typo or he thinks holding AKT suited with an offsuit 10 or 3 is a good idea in jacks or better.

Instead of the more likely:

B. Well its been four days since he posted, and nobody responded saying he was wrong. They probably fixed the typo.

Well its been four days since he posted, and nobody responded saying he was wrong. They probably fixed the typo.

  That's exactly what happened. I was on an Alaskan cruise when it published and checking email irregularly. Lots of folks wrote and told me of the typo. I sent an email to my webmaster and it got fixed. I appreciate people telling me when I make typos.

Most of the people informing me of the error did so politely. This is a welcome change in my life. It wasn't so long ago that whenever I made a typo-level mistake I would get raked over the coals. I never let that stop me, but it wasn't any fun. Bob
