Hi Lorinda, Ted, Rick, and others
In chess, as Lorinda suggested, programming has been going on a long time. One of the early world champs (Bronstein, I believe) was a main frame programmer back in the 50's & 60's was already laying...

Re: 9--5 suited, + EV
AA,
Yep, I tend to agree. Even if 9-5 suited hits a flush or a straight (it's not the nut straight, someone could have T-9),it is yet possible to lose.
