Most hand frequency tables produced by computer programs do not take flush hands into account because of the barrier of the large amount of computing time required.   HALSCRIB's tables do.   The hand frequencies weight a particular hand's expected pegging value.

Card   Frequency   Algorithm:

• for each Pone hand
• for each card in hand
• accumulate into card frequency table
• if card unique, accumulate into unique card frequency table
• if flush hand, accumulate into flush card frequency table
• for each Dealer hand
• for each card in hand
• accumulate into card frequency table
• if card unique, accumulate into unique card frequency table
• if flush hand, accumulate into flush card frequency table
