[vpFREE] Re: killer feature for a VP trainer

This reminds me of Dan Paymar's Optimum Play strategies. For basic strategy, many lines of hand rank tables can be reduced to a sentence.

In a parallel example to the one you give for 9/6 JOB Dan's book says something to the effect of: Hold all paying hands 2 pair or better except break anything but a Straight Flush for a 4 card Royal.

For the beginning player Dan's strategies are very easy to remember. Later on they can be fine tuned, penalty card situations added, etc. This is especially true for JOB, BP and FPDW.

For example, you always keep two-pair or trips in 9/6 JOB but you will break pat straight (or flush), respectively. That is to say 2-pair and trips is independent of the strategy but the dealt straight is dependent on the strategy, respectively. This is important because there is a "CONFLICT" between a dealt straight and a better hand (say 4 to the royal flush). My theory is you make a mistake by failing to identify or correctly weigh the "conflict(s)". Had Tom worked on the software, it would have pointed out those conflicts you missed.
