This is a continuation of last week\u2019s column. You may wish to read that one before you start here. I actually suggested you do some homework between then and now. I understand that many of you did not do the homework (it\u2019s not too late!) but those of you who did will get more out of this.<\/p>\n

The Wizard of Odds strategy calculator provides a basic strategy and a list of exceptions to that basic strategy. These exceptions are generally caused by what are called \u201cpenalty cards.\u201d This is going to be the area where we\u2019re going to find our strategy deviations. A 1% change in hard-to-get hands is not going to cause major differences.<\/p>\n

In the group of hands where it says you should hold the J instead of the normal unsuited AJ, the top nine hands are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 2\u26633\u26634\u2666J\u2665A\u2666<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. 2\u26633\u26634\u2666J\u2665<\/span>A\u2660<\/li>\n
  3. 2\u26633\u2666<\/span>4\u2663J\u2665A\u2666<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. 2\u26633\u2666<\/span>4\u2663J\u2665<\/span>A\u2660<\/li>\n
  5. 2\u26633\u26664\u2666J\u2665<\/span>A\u2663<\/li>\n
  6. 2\u26633\u26664\u2666J\u2665<\/span>A\u2660<\/li>\n
  7. 2\u26633\u26664\u2665<\/span>J\u2660A\u2663<\/li>\n
  8. 2\u26633\u26664\u2665<\/span>J\u2660A\u2666<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. 2\u26633\u26664\u2665<\/span>J\u2660A\u2665<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    These hands may look the same to some of you, but they are all different. The difference between the first two, for example, is whether the ace and four are suited with each other or not. Sometimes the two and three are suited with each other; sometimes not. Once you focus in on these types of differences, you can see they are all different.<\/p>\n

    What\u2019s more, each one stands for a variety of hands. The first one stands for all cases where the ace and four are suited, the two and three are suited (in a different suit that the ace and four), and at the same time the jack is unsuited with each of the others. There are actually 24 different hands that are represented by that one line. In every line where there are three or four suits (which include all of these), there are 24 different hands represented.<\/p>\n

    What I did is copy all of the hands for the regular SDB strategy and pasted them into an Excel spread sheet. There turned out to be 334 of them. I then copied and pasted the hands from the Dotty\u2019s version of SDB and pasted them side-by-side with the regular SDB hands. There were also 334 of them. I spot checked the two lists side by side and determined they were identical. Therefore, I concluded that I had to look elsewhere for the strategic differences.<\/p>\n

    The next type of hand I looked at was being dealt an unsuited ace king and only holding the ace. In the regular SDB version, there are 276 cases where only the ace is held. ALL of these 276 cases include a ten unsuited with the ace. In the Dotty\u2019s version, there were 48 hands which did not include a ten, and also 354 that did include a ten. That means there are at least two types of strategic changes to identify.<\/p>\n

    I\u2019m going to print, in black and white, the 48 cases where there is no ten and we hold the ace by itself rather than AK. How would you describe these hands in a way that accurately describes these hands and no other ones?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The three features you need to notice are:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Each of the three bottom cards is in the range six through nine.<\/li>\n
    2. None of these three cards are suited with the ace.<\/li>\n
    3. The three bottom cards are not all the same suit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      On my strategy sheet, I omit the third element above simply because a 3-card straight flushes with no high card and either one or no insides are quite a bit higher than either an unsuited ace king or an ace by itself.<\/p>\n

      I write the other two rules as AK . . . . (< A with no fp and no lsp)<\/p>\n

      The \u201cfp\u201d stands for \u201cflush penalty\u201d and refers to a card suited with the ace. The \u201clsp\u201d stands for \u201clow straight penalty\u201d and means a 2, 3, 4, or 5.<\/p>\n

      Now let\u2019s look at the 78 cases, including a ten, where you hold the ace rather than AK when you\u2019re playing the Dotty\u2019s version rather than standard SDB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

      The two features here are:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. There is a ten unsuited with the ace. It may or may not be suited with the king.<\/li>\n
      2. There are exactly two cards in the range of 2-5, neither of which is suited with the ace.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The second rule can lead you astray if you\u2019re unfamiliar with regular SDB advanced strategy. In the regular strategy, AK (<A with no fp, a T, and at most one lsp). In the Dotty\u2019s version, we have simplified to AK (<A with no fp and no T).<\/p>\n

        Something to keep in mind is that ace king is exactly equivalent to ace queen and ace jack. So, using an H as a \u201chigh card lower than the first card listed\u201d our rule becomes<\/p>\n

        AH \u2026. (< A with T and no fp) (<A with no fp and no lsp)<\/p>\n

        A few weeks ago, I wrote a column about having an ace with a suited jack ten. Those rules take precedence over the ones I\u2019m discussing today.<\/p>\n

        Next, I looked at a suited jack ten versus an unsuited king jack. Since a suited jack ten could become either a straight flush or a royal flush, and both of those pay schedule categories had a 1% increase, it\u2019s possible there\u2019s a change here. But copying and pasting the lists of exceptions to an Excel spread sheet side by side told me the two cases were identical — hence no strategic changes here.<\/p>\n

        For the suited queen ten with a flush penalty, sometimes you just hold the queen. It turns out there is a difference between the two games. I can print out the differences and let you see if you can figure out the rule, but you can do that yourself if you like. I\u2019ve shown you enough examples so that you get the idea. In regular SDB, you hold the Queen by itself in these cases where one or more of the following conditions apply.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. There is at most one card in the 2, 3, or 4 range.<\/li>\n
        2. There is an 8 in the hand.<\/li>\n
        3. There is a 9 in the hand.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          In the Dotty\u2019s version, the first condition disappears and to hold the queen by itself there must be an 8 and\/or a 9 in the hand. That is, on a hand like Q\u2663T\u26633\u2663 5\u26667\u2665<\/span>, in regular SDB you hold the queen while in the Dotty\u2019s version you hold queen ten. In both games, on a hand like Q\u2663T\u26633\u2663 4\u2666 7\u2665<\/span>, you hold the queen ten. You might remember from last week\u2019s column that you get fewer quad Js-Ks in the Dotty\u2019s version of the game. This one type of hand is the primary reason why.<\/p>\n

          I checked the rest of the hands and couldn\u2019t find any more differences. If you can identify some other case where the strategy varies, I\u2019d appreciate you letting me know.<\/p>\n

          Finally, the question sometimes arises as to whether I really attempt to play these games taking into consideration all of these things. The answer is: \u201cYes I do.\u201d It\u2019s part of playing the game correctly and that\u2019s my aspiration. I don\u2019t always succeed and I sometimes make mistakes for a variety of reasons (mainly being tired, sticky buttons, or simply mis-fingering), but my goal is to play perfectly.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"youtube\"<\/a>\"instagram\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
