On 10/7 Double Bonus, break it: three aces alone are worth 10.1147 per coin vs 10.0000 for the pat full house — quad aces pay 160. On Jacks or Better, keeping the full house is correct (9.0000 vs 4.3080).

Double Bonus pays 160-per-coin for quad aces — the whole point of the game. Drawing two cards at the case ace (plus full-house redraws and quad-eights never entering it) is worth slightly more than the sure 10 coins. The margin is thin but real, and it flips completely on Jacks or Better, where quads pay a flat 25 and the pat full house wins by more than double.
Double Bonus chart line #3 of 36 (three aces) sits above the full house. Game-specific: never do this on Jacks or Better. See the full solver-optimized strategy chart, or drill hands with exact-EV feedback until plays like this are automatic.
