Need help from someone with software

Post by Mikeinri »

When I go to Nevada I play some 10/7 Double Bonus and some 9/6 JOB.  Back home, in AC I play only 9/6 JOB since there is no playable DB.Too lazy to learn another strategy I use the 9/6 JOB strategy at the 10/7 games with 2 exceptions:1.  I will hold 3 low cards to a flush rather than discard in JOB.2.  I will hold a 4 card unsuited inside straight (such as 5,6,8,9) rather than discard in JOB.Can someone tell me my EV?

Back home, in AC I play only 9/6 JOB since there is no playable DB.Too lazy to learn another strategy I use the 9/6 JOB strategy at the 10/7 games with 3 exceptions:Using computer-perfect Jacks or Better strategy on 10/7 produces an EV of 99.6320%.1.  I will hold 3 low cards to a flush rather than discard in JOB.I'd estimate that this enhancement is worth about 0.0221%[estimate, not exact value] 2.  I will hold a 4 card unsuited inside straight (such as 5,6,8,9) rather than discard in JOB.#2 is worth about 0.1168% [estimate, not exact value] 3. I will hold 4 unsuited cards to an outside straight (5, 6, 7, 8 for example) over a low pair whereas holding the low pair in JOB.#3 is worth 0.0606%Can someone tell me my EV?Adding those up produces an EV of 99.8316%, but I can't tell you how precise this is (I used the value of a throwing away 5 cards as being 1.646567 and the specific throwaway values that have 4-card inside straights or 3-card flushes in them are undoubtedly somewhat different than this overall average).
