Dancer notes no exceptions to standard JB
strategy, i.e. you always hold a 3 card royal over a 4 card flush.
If I'm remembering correctly there are penalty card situations that give
the 4 card flush hold a slightly higher ER? If one worries about these
things......
Bob Dancer's strategy from his 6/17/03 article says that for levels 1, 2 &
3: Hold a 4 card flush over a 3 card royal only if the hand contains an A
and a T.
Below is the strategy from his 6/17/03 article. I tried earlier to include
his strategy in a post on ACVPP, but the attachment didn't come through. (I
added the asterisks. *** means the rule applies to levels 1, 2 & 3. **
means the rule applies to levels 1 & 2.)
