There are 32 ways to hold cards for any dealt five-card hand.
Hand Analysis dialog lists all these 32 hold combinations. The
first column of the list contains the ER (Expected Return) or
EV (Expected Value) associated with each hold combination. The list
is sorted by EV (ER) in descending order.
You should always hold the combination of cards with the highest
ER value. It's the only way to achieve the maximum payback possible from a video
