Example Scenarios
Holding a High Pair
Scenario: In a game of Jacks or Better, you're dealt a pair of Jacks, a 10, a 7, and a 3.
Calculation: The calculator evaluates all 32 combinations and finds that holding the pair of Jacks yields the highest EV. The probability of improving to a three of a kind or better is higher than chasing a straight or flush.
Result: The recommendation is to hold the pair of Jacks, optimizing your expected value and increasing your chances of securing a payout.
Deciding Between Flush and Pair
Scenario: Your hand includes a 3, 4, 5 of hearts, a 9 of clubs, and a Queen of spades.
Calculation: The calculator analyzes potential flush and pair holds. Holding the three hearts gives a chance for a flush, but the EV is lower compared to holding a single high card like the Queen.
Result: The optimal hold is the Queen, as it provides a better chance of achieving a higher EV through potential pair payouts.
