Paymar's EV|High Cards and Suited 10s JoB
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2023 2:48 pm
Hey all. Jumping back into VP after taking a break for a number of years.
I learned VP through Paymar's "Optimum Play" and successfully (luckily) used his "Precision Play" to net a Royal Flush and then promptly quit playing VP.
My question is that Paymar claims his "Precision" play will yield a 99.53% return (less than .01% less than perfect). But I see a difference in everyone's strategy differentiating between "any two cards" and a high card suited with a 10. Is this an "error" by Paymar? Does this mean Paymar's "Precision" play still yield a 99.53% return on 9/6 if these are "errors"?
E.G. Paymar puts holding multiple high cards ABOVE holding any single high card with a 10. He lists any Two Unsuited High cards as having an EV of .487. The next lowest EV in his chart is K-10,Q-10,J-10 listed at .477 (Pre-Draw Hands - JoB). Is Paymar's EV wrong?
Dancer and others (including the EV display for Video Poker.com) take a very different stance. E.g., Dancer lists suited JT above King-High or Ace-High.
I'm assuming this has to do with "penalty cards" as I glanced in a different post.
If someone would like to shed some light on this for newbie, it'd be appreciate!
Best of luck to all.
