Strategy Question from Frugal VP software

#1

Hello all - newbie here. I just purchased the Frugal VP software to
prepare for a trip to Vegas next month.

I was going over the printed strategy chart for Jacks 9/6, and there
are a couple of strategy's I don't understand...

Line 13 - 4 card flush, 0 thru 2 high - My ? is what does the 0 stand
for and how can a 2 be a high?

Also line 22, says 3 card straight flush, any low ace, ...
- My question was does that mean a 3 card staright fulsh with an ace
as the low card. If so doesn't that just mean A23?

Im feeling a little dumb right now! Help!

Reading the strategy cards for the first time can be a little cryptic.
0 thru 2 high means a flush draw with 0, 1, or two cards Jacks or
higher. So a 8724 suited, k854 suited, and jk54 suited all fit that
bill. jka4 suited would be a 3 high card flush draw.

Also line 22, says 3 card straight flush, any low ace, ...
- My question was does that mean a 3 card staright fulsh with an ace

A24, A25, A34, A35, A45 are all included.

Good luck. Playing on frugal will help make sense of the strategies
as well.

Welcome! And there are no dumb questions!!!!!!

<<Line 13 - 4 card flush, 0 thru 2 high - My ? is what does the 0 stand

My daughter, the Frugal Princess, says that when she first saw a VP strategy card, she thought it was in Greek!

Anyway, the above means: a 4-card flush that can have no high cards or it can have 1 or 2 high cards.

<<Also line 22, says 3 card straight flush, any low ace, ...

This means any 3-card straight flush that has an Ace in it - A,2,3 or A,3,4, or A,2,5, etc. In other words, any 3 cards of the same suit that is part of a straight flush that includes an ace, no matter where the gaps are.
