Holding a suited King-Ten strategy paradox

Post by **Forbin** » Mon Mar 25, 2019 3:34 pm

Got a problem I'd like to throw out to the experts about suited King-Ten combos. I've been playing Super Times Pay Poker (3 line JOB). Hand #1 is 5c,10s,6s,ks,4c and I held the King-Ten. The tutorial said to hold the King only. Hand #2 is ks,2d,9h,10s,3c and remembering my mistake from hand 1 I held the King and now the tutorial says I should have held the King-Ten. What gives? Am I missing something here?

In hand #2 the King and ten are suited.

If it's 9/6, the correct play is Ks, 10s in both hands. If it's 9/5, you hold just the K in the first hand but K,10 in the second. My guess is the 6s flush penalty in the first.

Here's a good explanation of optimal strategy for 9/6 on Wizardofodds.com
