I understand the ramifications of learning penalty plays...how they're not really cost effective...but given that,I have encountered one in 9/6 Jacks which I don't understand and am hoping someone can explain.
Given: Kc10c4c5h9h The correct option is to keep the Kc rather than the Kc10c.
Given: Kh10h6h2s3s The correct hold is Kh10h rather than just the Kh
My questions why hold the K alone in the first and yet the Kh10h in the second?
Would appreciate an explanation why
Thanks

Flush penalty and a 9 penalty in the 1st situation. Neither penalty card in the 2nd.

In your first hand, the 4c is a flush penalty and the 9h is a straight
penalty, leaving you only three 9's in the deck to complete a K hi straight
on the redraw, and only 10 clubs to complete a flush. The logic here is
that since you have both a flush and a straight penalty, you're dropping the
T suited to give you one more card on the draw to enhance your chance to
land a high pair for a push. In the second hand example, you only have a
flush penalty but no discards that are a straight penalty to a K hi
straight. All four or your 9's are available in the other 47 cards for your
draw.

Because the 9h eliminates a straight possibility.
