One thing most of us do with the VPSM charts are to combine related plays
so as to save space (Frugal VP does much of the combining before printing
it's chart).
Example: On most of the double bonus type games you have to look at 4FL,
3RF and high pairs (except AA).
In 10-7 DB, QJTs is always better than a 4FL or high pair so all of those
lines can be combined as one line.
A four flush with three high cards is always better than all 3RF except
QJTs so that goes next.
KQJs is better than a high pair. (except AA)
A high pair is better than a four flush with one or two high cards.
A four flush with one or two high cards
A 3RF other than QJTs or KQJs
In notation similar to VPSM:
QJTs
4 Flush with 3 high cards
KQJs
Pair JJ, QQ, KK
4 Flush with less than 3 high cards
3RF other than QJTs or KQJs
This compresses 22 lines down to six with exactly the same 100% accuracy.
(I hope I was careful enough here as somebody will surely catch any mistake
I have made.)
Notes: 1. Make sure you read each line of the VPSM (or Frugal VP) chart
carefully.
2. On very close plays you may want to use your "play"
software (Frugal VP, Winpoker etc.) to double check.
When they get a different result, the "play" software is
always right.

print them out and my wife cuts them and laminates them so they are
about index card size. Works very well and lasts a long time.

curious as to specifically what actions you take against the
generated files. Strategy chart, for db 10/7, follows; I'd be most
interested in specifically how you revise this to produce cards.DOUBLE BONUS POKER
