All of these
169 combinations can be divided into five categories: the pairs, the next
cards, hole cards, same suit next cards and same suit hole cards. If you
have not a pair your two cards may be same or mixed suit cards, be next or
have a "hole" of one or several cards between them. It is obvious, that with
the next cards there are more chances of receiving Straight, and the more
the hole the less the probability of receiving Straight. With the
same suit cards the size of the hole does not matter for receiving
Strait, however, the senior cards are more preferable due to other
reasons.

All these recommendations, being precise enough at first glance, actually do
not require exact and blind execution, and they are not absolutely optimal,
as, for example, base strategy in blackjack. "Any Two cards may win",
although, they may lose too. Moreover, you should follow these
recommendations providing the Pot was not increased, i.e. nobody
Raised on the previous hands. With an increase of the pot the strategy
varies a little, and the psychology starts playing the big role.
