First example, yep, hold K + 8 suited

Second, I get this too, but isn't your second example the standard strategy for TDB though?

Third example I get 99 + Q > QJoff, I do get QJ suited > 99 + Q though.

As for strategy, I don't see it happening unless this game takes off, which I doubt it will to be honest.

[quote]Third example I get 99 + Q > QJoff, I do get QJ suited > 99 + Q though.[/quote]RIght you are, I overcounted possible high pair and straight hands (there should be 4830 and 192 respectively out of 15180 total combinations, yes?). Another close one, ,47343 for the pair + peek vs. .46522 for QJ offsuit, so the flush possibility decides.

If this game does take off like Quick Quads, I hope the webmaster JB from the Wizard Of Odds can create a strategy generator for this as well.
