Although AKJ Rainbow on 8/5 Bonus Poker is a certain mistake.
I believe someone on this forum has the time to show how much that mistake will cost the player over time.
Hi Monet, rainbow JAK can be a hold in All American(USA) Poker since the straight pays 8 for 1 (in full pay AAP or most other variations where the straight pays 8 for 1). JK offsuit has a return of 2.4117 units versus 2.2803 for the JAK rainbow (99.17% 8/5 bonus poker). So for every dollar Alan wagers when he encounters this deal (JcAd8sKs5h), he is losing a little more than 13 cents on average. Not only that, but, as already discussed, the JAK rainbow actually has a lower probability of becoming a non-losing hand after the draw than JK offsuit.
The most amazing thing though Monet is that, even after reading this, Alan will not change his strategy.
