Compare category first, then the relevant ranks. Each exercise states its Ace profile and explains the result using the same hand model.
Choose Hand A, Hand B or Tie for each standard natural-card comparison. The stated Ace profile forms part of the question. Each example includes a complete worked explanation and uses the same card engine as the Hand Lab.
