Just wanted to thank those of you who replied. I understand better
now ( re: the A-x suited hold). Also, thanks to the links suggested,
I was able to find info on FPDW and LDW. Thanks again.

The vpFREE home page links to a page from which the LV location of a
variety of "positive" games can be found. For "full pay" deuces,

The consideration of any hold vs. another takes into account not
only
what can be formed on the draw but, by comparison, what
possibilities
you pass up by undertaking the hold.
In the case of an A-x RF hold for FPDW, it should be recognized that
the opportunities for winning hands involving wild cards are
tremendously diminished.
The particular distinction between a suited A-x hold and other two
card RF holds is that it has only one possible resutling straight,
AKQJT. That, alone, turns out to be sufficient for a complete
redraw

to have greater value than holding suited A-x.
