great guide but why are the numbers out of order (A,K,Q,J. Not A,2,3,4. just a pet peeve of mine)

I think A-Level Probability covers all of this

what math class did you need to do this sort of math ?

Great breakdown

The trade off to discard 4 is pretty marginal if one has 2 cards higher than current pair (with high
# of remaining matches in deck), but may yield a higher overall chance of successfully beating the blind.

Kinda, but if you had two high cards maybe you would only discard 4 as the difference in chance is negligible, depends on the scenario.

To summarize, always discard 5?

I hope the start and conclusion sections were clear!

I dunno why i even tried to read this. This is some alien language to me! Take my award anyway!

Thank you, you mathematician you
