4 years into Texas Holdem and I get to thinking, maybe someone can confirm if this makes sense to them ?
In that the Ace is special in that it can be 1 or 14? or 'highest value'?
To me, It can close the highest straight, or it can seed a wheel, so the way I see it - one single Ace can close a broadway.
In that no other card can function as part of a Wheel OR a Broadway (and this is the first time I have ever said Broadway, I had to look up the term for a high end straight, I knew Wheel though heh)? I am thinking that AFTER
AK AJ AQ AJ A10 ?
The NEXT most valuable combo is not A9...
But A5 onward to A4 A3 A2 - why? Because you get access to that potential Wheel.
I know there are books on this, I just haven't disciplined myself to read them but this really makes sense to me.
This also means A6 through A9 are well ? potentially less valuable than a KQ KJ K10 - this is ALL pre flop by the way.
Any thoughts on after AK AQ AJ A10- that A5 is next most valuable because you are tapping into that most unique offering Ace can bring for a Wheel?
