JOB Strategy for 10/7 DB

When playing 10/7 DB I know that using the basic 9/6 strategy offers a
fairly good return (99.7 if I remember correctly). But there are a few
simple modifications that can bump that expectation up a bit. Can
somebody remind me what those are? Harry, are you there?
Thanks,
Brian

===============================

IMO, the 3 most basic, easiest to remember, but still important
strategy changes from 9/6JOB to 10/7DB are:

1. Keeping all 3 card flushes (even when they're not part of a
possible straight flush) including AK & AQ + small suited card.

2. Keeping inside straights if there is not at least one high
card to hold.

3. Keeping a 4 flush which includes RF3 (in MOST cases).

I think that the addition of those strategy changes brings you
pretty close to 100% ev, even w/o penalty card consideration.

I DO pay attention to penalty cards, but find it very burdensome
at times. When that occurs, I find a different game to play.

Hope that helps.

That's it! Thank you, Babe and Brian! I have been playing nothing
but Deuces for the last 18 months and this weekend I'm forced to
play 9/6 JOB and 10/7 DB in order to get a room in Laughlin. I
suppose it's a good thing, taking a refresher course. Thanks again
for the help!
