\paperw8280 \margr0\margl0\ATXph0 \plain \fs20 \b \cf9 This basic strategy applies 
only on your first (3-card) bet decision. Scratch your bet unless one of the following is true:\par
\b0 \cf0 \par
\li480\fi-240 \fs20 •	You have three of a kind.\par
\fs20 •	You have a high pair.\par
\fs20 •	You have a straight flush possibility in w
hich:\par
\li720 \fs20 •	It's a three-way straight starting at 3 or higher.\par
\fs20 •	It's a two-way straight with at least one high card.\par
\fs20 •	It's a one-way straight with at least two high cards.\par
\li0\fi0 \fs20 \par
\b \cf9 Notes:
\par
\li240 \b0 \cf0 A high card is a 10, J, Q, K, or A.\par
\fs20 A three-way straight is an open-ended straight that can be filled three ways, e.g. 5-6-7.\par
\fs20 A two-way straight is an inside straight that can be filled two ways, e.g. 5-7-8.\par
\fs20 A one-way straight is any straight that can only be filled one way, e.g. 5-8-9 or Q-K-A.{\fonttbl

\paperw8280 \margr0\margl0\ATXph0 \plain \fs20 \b \cf9 This enhanced strategy appli
es only on your second (4-card) bet decision and only if you don't have a flush possibility.\par
\b0 \cf0 \par
\b \cf9 Qualify your hand:\par
\li480\fi-240 \b0 \cf0 •	Do you have a draw to an open-ended straight?\par
\fs20 •	Do you have a draw to any
 straight with four high cards?\par
\li0\fi0 \fs20 If the answer to both questions is "No", then you can't use this enhanced strategy and must use the basic 4-card strategy instead. Otherwise perform the following computations.\par
\fs20 \par
\b \cf9 
Compute the initial expected value of your hand (V):\par
\li480\fi-240 \b0 \cf0 •	If you have an open-ended straight:	V = 6 * number of high cards in your hand\par
\fs20 •	Otherwise:										V = 0\par
\li0\fi0 \fs20 \par
\b \cf9 Then, for each card 
you have peeked at:\par
\li480\fi-240 \b0 \cf0 •	If it fills your straight:						V = V - 5\par
\fs20 •	If it matches one of your high cards:	V = V - 1\par
\fs20 •	Otherwise:										V = V + 1\par
\li0\fi0 \fs20 \par
\b \cf9 If the final value of V 
is greater than zero, let your bet ride. Otherwise, scratch it.\par
\b0 \cf0 \par
\b \cf9 Notes:\par
\li240 \b0 \cf0 A high card is a 10, J, Q, K, or A.\par
