Bob was just stating that not only do you choose the four flush over the RF3 when the fifth card is "paint" as you suggested, but you also choose the four flush when the fifth card is another 10. He was just explaining why the 10 is a penalty--you are less likely to draw two pair when holding an RF3 that has both an A and 10 if you've discarded another 10. So his comment is still "apples to apples" because he is still talking about when to choose a four flush over an RF3 (which was the original question).

>Whether Mike chooses the 3 ROY or the 4 FLU in his example, he will be keeping the ten in both cases. My point was that the only penalty card to completing a straight on the draw in the example cited was the jack. As I stated, it could have been any paint (face card) that would deplete the deck of that card on the draw. I hope that a player using either the bottom up or the top down schooling method will know and understand that when talking about a pair of tens or two pair on a draw is already overridden by the fact that any 3 ROY hold is going to be superior to any non paying pair in 9-6 HOB, regardless of what the fifth card in the hand is, so I consider this heading toward comparing apples to oranges territory. Of course, if the fifth card is also another club, it will be a pat flush, so take the 30 credits and move on. Perhaps I did not properly correctly convey what I was attempting to say, or Bob misread what I wrote.
