[Ulysses]

I did re-read what you said, and here's what you said in two posts:

So, I guess what I'm saying is that 5s and Ts have more relative inherent value than 2s, 3s, 4s, Js, Qs and Ks, because they make more straights

5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and Ts have more power. As such, both 5s and Ts have more power than the avg. card (since the avg. card includes the power of 2s, 3s, 4s, Js, Qs, and Ks).

My point is that even if your statements relate to the specific case of what your second card is given a random first card I intuitively would lean towards the group containing Js,Qs, and Ks, instead of leaning towards the group that makes more two card straights.

You also say:

the 'value jump' (i.e. increase in value) from a 4 in your hand to a 5 is a greater jump than from a 5 to a 6. Similarly, the jump from a 9 to a Ten is less than from a Ten to a Jack.

Now you're saying jumping from a Ten to a Jack is an increase in value. If you're correct on that count (and I think you are), then doesn't that go against your two-card straight power theory and groupings?
