I was playing this game on the slant tops at the Palms today when this
interesting situation occurred, I got dealt a hand in which the 10c was
on the extreme left and the Ac was on the extreme left ... there were
no discernable penalty cards, so I held both. Was this the correct
play or should I have tossed the 10c anyway?

You probably made the right play. I'm not sure what the basic pay
schedule was or how big the sequential was. VPW allows you to analyze
sequential royals. This is a game you should analyze BEFORE you sit down
to play, as there will be a lot of different plays affected by the
sequential.
With no penalty cards, the other three cards must have been specifically
679 or 689, with at least two different suits involved and none of them
suited with the 'AT'.
Pesach wondered how you could hold both cards. The 10 was in position 1
and the A was in position 5. It's not hard to hold both.

===============================================
Assuming that your second "left" was a "right,"
that the paytable was
5-5-15-20-30-40-250-400-4000-12500,
that the sequential paid both ways,
and that there were no penalty cards,
you made the right play.
If the sequential royal was worth only 10,000, holding the ace only
would have been the right play.

Thanks for the reply, Bob. Yes, obviously I meant the Ac was on the
right in position 5 and yes, also, to the non-penalty cards. It
seemed intuitive that the hold, if not correct, must be very, very
close to correct. I have only "Win Poker" at my disposal, so
analysis was impossible. You say VPW allows for sequential royal
analysis? Very strong selling point, indeed! TY again for taking
the time to comment on the play.

The Palms' paytable is actually slightly better than that, as it is 5-
5-15-20-30-45-250-400-4000-12500, paying an extra 5 credits for the
full-house. I use this game as an alternative, when the FPDW and
10/6 DDB banks are occupied.

I'm shooting this off the top of my head so hopefully I get it
right. When you make a royal with this hold it can come in six
different orders, 3X2X1: KQJ, KJQ, QKJ, QJK, JKQ, and the one you
prefer JQK.
Five of these pay 4000 coins and one pays 12,500 coins for an average
value of 5416.6666 coins.
If you don't have a program that deals with sequentials you can
simply change the payscale then analyze the hand to see where it fits
in on the strategy chart.

Maybe I should have been a little clearer on this. If your program
does not deal with sequentials then pull up the applicable payscale,
change the royal to 5417 coins. Then use the hand analyzer to get
the EV for Ten-Ace. You probably want to do this for the other nine
RF2s also. Then put them in their applicable place in the strategy
chart.
I carry my strategies in a 3 X 5 pocket notebook. So it's very easy
for me to make these kinds of insertions.
