My 8-5 BP Prog. Flubs

A few months ago, I made a post about 8-5 BP progressive 3-play that included all of my strike numbers for the totals of the three royals. A highly competent and conscientious VP player friend went through the list for me to verify my work and found two errors. For the benefit of the two or three of you that copied and are using that sheet, I am posting these two corrections:

WRONG # 1--JK,QK>9JK,9QK w A ST PEN.$6,860.00
The correct amount should be $5,145.00. I know exactly how I did this, as the 6,860 figure is the exact strike number if I am playing single line $'s. I did not divide by three and then multiply by 4, but just inserted the dollar figure in error. I know I can do this with formulas in Excel, and I am trying to use it more often, but it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Besides, I write these formulas so infrequently, I forget structure, syntax, etc., that by the time I look it up, I just revert to my old methods.

WRONG # 2-- TQ>234, 235, 245...................$4,395.00

The correct amount should be $3,660.00, same as the 3 STFL I 0 HI, 8 HI.I have absolutely no clue how I did this one. I do sometimes work on the same hand in two or three different games at the same time, having three different analysis programs running at once, and just alt tab to switch games, instead of having to constantly change games in one program. Whatever it may have been looks like it has to do with the 3 STFL DI, because of exposure to the venom of the Ace, but I can't remember. My wife has always claimed that men can't multitask, and I may soon become a believer, but not quite yet. Thanks to RT for proofing for me, you know who you are. Nudge

Mac,
   What I posted back in January is not a strategy, just suggested changes
that you would make to the existing strategy when playing a progressive as
the amount of the royal rises. For example, in a quarter game with the
royal paying $1,000, If I have a hand that contains a TJ suited and Q in
another suit, I know to hold the JQ, but when the royal reaches $1,225 and I
have the same choice with no straight or flush penalty to the TJ, the long
term expected return will be better if I hold the TJ suited due to the
increase in the royal payoff. My post just listed, in ascending $ amount
order, all of the changes that I could think of. I know there were more
than 100 of them and I'm sure that I didn't catch them all. If you would
like to get a copy of the sheet, go to the vpFREE home page, on the left
side click on messages, and then key the post number, 104661, into the
message # search box, click search and it will take you to the post.

It's a typo - should have been 104461; not 104661
