Stratgey Question

#1

There are a few minor difference that all relate to the lower value on the
flush.
AKT, AQT or AJT of the same suit is always better than a four flush in 8/5
but if the fifth card is either a ten or a helper toward a straight then
the four flush is better.
There are similar very minor situations with QJ vs QJ8 and KQ vs KQ9 of the
same suit.
If your a new player I wouldn't worry too much about these.

From a newbie to the game:
When playing JOB does the stratgey change from a 9/6 game to an 8/5
game? Thanks for all the help......

To modestly add to Howard's excellent reply, the impact of using 9/6
JB strategy to play 8/5 JB, rather than optimal strategy for 8/5 JB,
is to reduce return by .007% (97.291% vs. 97.298%).

There's obviously no reason to modify your play when playing 8/5.
(Unless to play more slowly, of course :slight_smile:
