Flush or 2 of a kind?

Whenever I play at the casino and get dealt 4 cards to a flush and also have 2 of a kind, Let's say 2C, 6C, 10C, KC, 2D, I always go for the flush but the machine "suggests" I should go with the 2 of a kind. Is that in fact mathematically the better play?

You need to specify what game and the pay table.

Sara, If the game you are referring to is 9/6 Jacks or better, 8/5 or or 8/5 Bonus Poker then 4 cards to a flush is preferable to holding 2 low cards. Might be different on some of the other games.

I cannot think of a game where holding the deuces, other than Deuces Wild.
With other cards, sometimes holding the pair is correct. Those times are:
1. When the pair is A, K, Q, or J in a game based on jacks or better
2. In a Deuces Wild game where flushes pay 2-for-1.
I suspect one of those cases is involved here, and your actual example was incorrect.

Example from tonight. Ignore the results, but before the cards were dealt, I had a
95.7458% advantage on this one.
