Decision framework
Before each community reveal, keep the corresponding wager in action or take it back. The final wager normally remains.
Decisions depend on made hands and qualifying draws, not on beating a dealer. Strategy must match the lowest paying hand and complete schedule.
Conditional value
Each take-back decision compares zero future value for the withdrawn unit with the conditional expected payoff of leaving it in action.
For Let It Ride 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
Taking back the first optional wager leaves the remaining wagers alive; it does not fold the hand.
For Let It Ride Strategy and Decision Points, write every amount already committed and every additional unit required before comparing branches.
Strategy boundaries
