Quick NSUDs quiz:
What's the highest EV play for this hand?
Ah Th 9s 7c 5d
Draw five, right? A-hi RF2s aren't playable, right? So fire up WinPoker or
FVP and check it out!
And for you masochists (yeah, that includes me), figure out all the max EV
plays for K-hi RF2s with one straight penalty and one low flush penalty. Fun,
fun, fun!

One significant omission in VPSMs NSUD strategy is that it does not show a
one deuce 3RF with an ace as playable with 2 penalty cards (Must be one
flush and one straight penalty). It is better than keeping stiff 2 (This
error can cost as much as 0.12 coins per 5 coin bet). (One exception here
is that with AT8s + 2 + K it is better to hold 108s + 2.) Awhile back,
Randi (a friend of Ednar's) saw me misplay this hand. I pulled out the VPSM
chart showing it was not there. I later checked it on Winpoker and of
course Randi was right. As bjaygold correctly indicates, there are a number
of other small exceptions not really worth worrying about.
