Default Re: My Complete and Final Thoughts

Hmm, I wonder if the differences are meaningful:

R(A) = 61.1%
R(K) = 57.8% d12=3.3
R(Q) = 55.4% d11=2.4
R(J) = 53.3% d10=2.1
R(T) = 51.6% d9=1.9
R(9) = 49.7% d8=1.9
R(8) = 48.2% d7=1.5
R(7) = 46.9% d6=1.3
R(6) = 45.9% d5=1.0
R(5) = 45.0% d4=0.9
R(4) = 43.8% d3=1.2
R(3) = 42.6% d2=1.2
R(2) = 41.4% d1=1.2

Notice that d1=d2=d3, but for higher cards the differences increase, with the noted exceptions around 5 and T. (Note: in the absence of hig card value, d5 should be less than d1, since d1 involves an increase in the number of straights allowed.) Presumably high card value increases with the number of undercards, apparently non-linearly.

In a real game, I would guess that the weighting toward big cards is even more extreme.
