Hand = wild 5d 7d Td Js (d= diamond, s= spade)
- Strategy maker says pick 4 to the flush. (Link above)
- Wiz's Hand Analyzer says 'wild 57' is better with 1.4 ev while 'wild 57T' (4 to flush) = 1.27 ev (cant link)
Which is correct?
Why is there a Discrepancy?

Scroll down to the basic strategy exceptions.

The 5-7-wild gives you many opportunities to win the SF at 25 including Wild + 3D/4D/6D/8D/9D, 3D+4D/6D, 4D + 6D/8D, 6D + 8D/9D, 8D + 9D. And lots of straights, flushes and 3 of a K and even 4 of a K.
The 4 to a flush gives you an opportunity only for 3 of a K or Flush.
Just my observation.

there's nothing in 'basic strategy exceptions' that says pick a suited one gapper with wild over a wild '4 to a flush'

Remember, you're playing with a 54 card deck. Odds will be completely different than a 52 card deck

The basic strategy does not list 5-7-T as a keeper. It lists 4 to a flush but not that specific combination. The Straight Flush W-5-7 has the higher rank therefore.

ahh.. but w-5-7 does NOT have a higher rank that wild 4 flush, based on Wiz's strategy maker. (see link in OP)
do you now see the discrepancy between the strategy maker and hand analyzer?

The hand analyzer gives you the OPTIMAL strategy. The strategy maker is only BASIC strategy.
Change the other cards (not the W57) around and you'll see different results.

The Wild 4 flush and cards in that combination are not listed meaning that you ignore the row as the card combination of the flush is not in the row.
