I'm struggling with when to hold one high card vs two cards to a Royal. For example, why is it correct to hold QS and TS in first example below, but only the AH in the second example? Thanks!
6C 5S QS TS 4H
Q♠10♠ 2.4021
Q♠ 2.32575
5♠Q♠10♠ 2.23405
5♠Q♠ 1.897
5C 8S 4H TH AH
A♥ 2.29885
4♥10♥A♥ 2.23405
10♥A♥ 2.21955
4♥A♥ 1.96855
5♣A♥ 1.7342

I looked at the strategy chart, and I think I figured it out. It appears that AT Suited and KT Suited fall below one high card. I assume it's because of the big gap between the cards and their ability to make a straight. Am I correct here? Thanks again.

Yes, I believe so. Also in the second example, the 4♥ creates a flush penalty.

That's correct for AT suited, but not entirely so for KT suited. KT suited is preferable to K alone, unless there is both a flush penalty and a nine penalty.
