   You are correct.      3s 5s 7s no penalty= 2.2664 ev    Jh with no flush penalty cards = 2.1905 ev     3s 5s 7s with straight penalty card = 2.1647 ev

There are a large number of penalty card situations in Double Bonus. The Dancer/Daily Winner's Guide explains all of them. Figuring them outself yourself is a time-intensive process --- plus you miss some and likely draw some wrong conclusions on a few of them. The Winner's Guide series is inexpensive and very useful for those who care about winning. Bob
