Default Re: My Complete and Final Thoughts

you really pick and choose what you cut and paste...

yes, a jack is more powerful than a ten. we all know this.

but, and i've honestly said this about 6 times now, the increase in value from a jack to a ten is less than the increase in power from a ten to a nine.

similarly, the increase in power from a 6 to a 5 is less than from a 5 to a 4.

the bigger card has more power, more value. however, the value you gain by having a bigger card (i.e. a jack) is mitigated somewhat by having fewer straight possibilities.

i've said this about 94 times now. if you still don't get it, either i'm explaining it poorly, or you are understanding it poorly. regardless, it's a fact, and my voice is wearing out from repeating myself so much.
