9/6 JoB strategy question
Hi Guys,
I'm practicing 9/6 JoB on VPFW, and I'm stumped on the following:
I was dealt: 10heart 4heart 2club Aheart 7diamond
I've been reviewing each hand according to Bob's strategy sheet, which states RF2 'AH' (A is for ace and H is for a high card below an ace, the ' ' is for suited) is held over HC1 J-A (HC1 is one high card, J-A is jack thru ace) , so I held Ah and 10h.
But the software gave me a moderate error response, it gave the correct hold as A heart only.
Why? Am I interpretting the strategy sheet incorrectly?
Thank you for any insight.

I just pulled up VPW and set it both on Perfect Play and on Strategy
and played that hand by "analyzing specific cards". In both cases,
"Perfect Play" and "Strategy" it indicated that holding only the ACE of
Hearts was the correct play.
If you pull up under analyze and then select Strategy and then down
underneath the chart you will see tabs for Strategy, Paytable and
Glossary.
Check Glossary and look at the following:
"High Card -- In every game, a high card refers to a card where your
money is returned if you get a pair of them. In Jacks or Better games,
this means A, K, Q, or J. In Kings or Better Games, this means A and K only. In ""Pair of Aces"" games, it refers to the ace only."
Note that the TEN of Hearts is not considered a High Card.

Thanks Mike!
My brain wasn't allowing me to comprehend a 10 as a low card. I was just thinking it was part of a RF.
