One interesting feature not displayed in the table is that it is never correct to play an ace kicker with two pair.

This also implies, I think, that you're never playing a pair on top that has a third card used in the middle, something that happens occasionally in the middle-qualifier form. But I guess I can see that it might always be better to throw the middle in favor of a full house in this form.

Is the code still in good enough shape that you could run similar simulations for 14-card, ten qualifier?
