It should be a math question

You had 3 twos and eight other hearts left in the deck that would either maintain your hand (2 cards) or improve it (9 cards). 3 Aces would get you 5 each and you had 33 cards that will result in no payment. If you drew all 47 possibilities you would get 3 x 5 (pair of Aces), 2 x 20 (straight), 8 x 25 (flush) and 1 x 250 (straight flush)(and 36 x 0). add them together and you get 505. Divide that by 47 and you average approximately 10.75, which is lower than 20. So, it seems like you made the right move.

I think my math is right. Maybe not. vbg
