Decision framework
After viewing seven cards, fold or raise within the posted limit. Raise size can depend on flush length and high-card composition.
Classify the largest suit, then compare its ordered ranks with the decision threshold for the exact qualification and raise rules.
Conditional value
Combinatorics begin by distributing seven cards among four suits, then accounting for rank patterns inside the longest suit.
For High Card Flush Strategy and Decision Points, the correct action is the legal choice with the greatest conditional expected value—not necessarily the action most likely to win the round.
Worked example
A four-card flush beats any three-card flush regardless of ordinary poker categories; when lengths tie, compare the highest card, then the next.
For High Card Flush Strategy and Decision Points, write every amount already committed and every additional unit required before comparing branches.
Strategy boundaries
Ranking a pair above a longer flush, ignoring qualification, or assuming a bonus schedule applies to Ante/raise creates errors.
For High Card Flush Strategy and Decision Points, a boundary taken from another pay table or rule package is not automatically portable.

For High Card Flush Strategy and Decision Points, flush length, dealer qualification and raise multiples all matter. Side wagers that use the same cards still have their own pay tables and edges.
