Conflicting suggestions? (DDB strategy)

Hey y'all, long time listener, first time caller.

Question re:in the "conflicting hands" section.

Item 17 reads: 4 5 6 J Q 3 to a straight flush (type 1) or 2 suited high cards: Go for the straight flush

Item 19 reads J A 2 3 4 2 suited high cards or 3 to a straight flush (type 1 or 2): Keep the 2 suited high cards

Assume Item 19 is a type 1 straight flush. Are these two different suggested holds because of the JQ and the JA? It seems like the JQ would be preferred because there's no gap between cards?

What am I missing?

Thanks! I've only been playing VP for a couple of years (moved over from blackjack and actual poker) and so so prefer it.

Cheers,

234 suited is not the same as 456 suited. 234 can not be filled from both sides.

Hask

Um...yes, it can. A-2-3-4-5

The Ace on one side, the 5 on the other. But, I know you know what you're talking about.

I think, because of it's proximity to the end of the file (The Ace) there's more chances of the SF filling out with 4-5-6 suited.

(4-5-6 suited)
2-3-4-5-6
3-4-5-6-7
4-5-6-7-8

VS.

(2-3-4 suited)
A-2-3-4-5
2-3-4-5-6


Two chances to fill vs. Three chances.

You got it!

Holding 2-3-4 and throwing an offsuit ace, you've also made it harder to make a straight.

Penalty cards make a small difference, but they come up on the close plays.
