Really interesting video that I found on my feed. I usually pivot to a flush build for my gold stake runs but according to this video, pairs are actually more consistent (especially in higher stakes where you have less discards/money).

Wish I knew all this before doing half the gold stakes...

Pairs or even high card can get some crazy bonuses
