How we computed this
For every one of the 2,598,960 possible deals, the simulator counts every possible draw for all 32 ways to hold the cards, and keeps the hold with the highest average return. Nothing is sampled, so these numbers are exact. Each chart is then played over the same 2,598,960 deals and compared with perfect play.
High cards are J, Q, K and A. A gap is a missing rank inside a run: 8-9-J has one gap. With three high cards including an ace, keep the two lowest.
