Not long ago, I read that using Jacks strategy for 10-7 DB yields a
return not too far below the expected yield of perfect DB strategy.
Unfortunately, I can't recall what that return is. Does anyone out
there know offhand?
The same character flaws that prevent me from tracking down this
information myself inspire a request for assistance with a related
hypothesis ....
Let's say that someone (okay, a lazy impatient tequila addled guy,
but not necessarily me)knows Jacks strategy perfectly but finds
certain elements of full tilt DB strategy annoying and difficult to
absorb. Let's also pretend that this individual (and there really is
no hard evidence that he is me) is easily able to remember following
DB departures from Jacks strategy:
He holds:
- a 4 card straight instead of a low pair
- a 4 card flush vs. a 3 card royal (unless the royal draw is TJQ
or JQK)
- an inside straight with 1 or 2 unsuited hi cards vs. 1 or 2
unsuited hi cards
- a 3 card flush, 1 hi card vs. 1 hi card
- 3 Aces vs. an Aces-up full house
- an inside straight or 3 card flush, no hi cards, vs NADA.
What return might this patchwork approach produce? Someone (possibly
me) would be very grateful to know.
