So your conclusion is you get a bigger return by making the sub-optimal hold than if you would have made the optimal hold....but only in certain situations? I assume you have hard data to back up this conclusion? In order to come with such a conclusion you would need empirical data from both type of draws. What evidence do you have that the sub-optimal hold pays better than the optimal hold? Or I should say, what evidence do you have that the optimal hold doesn't return as much as the sub-optimal hold?
