In Getting Started in Holdem on page 29 Ed has problems to identify the nuts.

Problem 1 is K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. The answer given is an 8 high straight with a 5 6 in the hole. Unless I'm missing something a 9 T gives a jack high straight.

Think it might have anything to do with connectors you would enter with?

Yes, it's an error. We'll fix it in the next printing.

Yeah, I remember that one had me scratching my head for awhile when I read the book four or five months ago. I finally decided there was a error or a misprint somewhere.
