Super Double Double Bonus Triple Play

The common pay table is 7/5 or 6/5, and here are some common hands that could be misplayed. (I don't have a full list of strategy, but I often see people misplay these hands.)

Here are all correct plays. (1 = hold, 0 = discard)

1. Consider holding only high pair when you are dealt with 2 pairs containing a low pair. Don't hold two pairs.

Code: Select all

♠2 ♦2 ♣K ♦K ♠A
[0, 0, 1, 1, 0] 8.365094048720321
[1, 1, 1, 1, 0] 7.553191489361702
2. Hold only one high pair when dealt with 2 high pairs. Don't hold 2 pairs. If both pairs are low pairs, then hold both.

Code: Select all

♠Q ♦Q ♣K ♦K ♠A
[1, 1, 0, 0, 0] 8.217082947887759
[0, 0, 1, 1, 0] 8.217082947887759
[1, 1, 1, 1, 0] 7.553191489361702
3. Do not hold any kicker when dealt with 3 of kind. (You only hold kicker for TDB Triple Play when dealt with 3 of kind of low cards.)

4. Consider holding 3 to straight flush with no gap instead of open-ended straight since SF pays 600. However, if ♠6 was ♠3, then hold the low pair.

Code: Select all

♠A ♦3 ♦4 ♦5 ♠6
[0, 1, 1, 1, 0] 3.593894542090657
[0, 1, 1, 1, 1] 3.404255319148936
5. About inside straight, you may never go for inside straight. Hold only high cards. (There might be other cases that I don't know.)

Code: Select all

♠8 ♦3 ♣4 ♦6 ♠7
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0] 1.7180050836441345
[1, 0, 1, 1, 1] 1.702127659574468

Code: Select all

♠6 ♦8 ♣9 ♦J ♠Q
[0, 0, 0, 1, 1] 2.44650015417823
[0, 1, 1, 1, 1] 2.3404255319148937
6. Consider keeping low pair instead of 4 to flush.

Code: Select all

♠3 ♠7 ♠8 ♦3 ♠A
[1, 0, 0, 1, 0] 5.63336416897934
[1, 1, 1, 0, 1] 5.1063829787234045
