Thanks, once you said SIXTEEN "super open ended" I could see the
error in my thinking. I just never thought of the duece not being
on the end of the straight.

The one-Deuce four card straight is "super open ended" because of
the Deuce. There are not eight, but SIXTEEN other cards plus the
other 3 Deuces which complete the straight. No such thing exists
for flush draws. There are "only" twelve cards which complete the
flush, nine suited nonwilds plus the three other Deuces. EV of
W 567 through W TJQ is exactly 5.0000 coins. The three nonwild
cards must all be unsuited with each other). Value of the "average"
Deuce alone in these hands is 4.9925 coins. The straight is not
always the best play if you take into account penalty cards. EV
of W 3h 6h 9h discarding Jc is 4.79 coins, value of the W alone
is 5.04 (in this case). Not really close at all.
