Right, but the upgrade for the working heart void is much bigger (3
points or the value of an ace) + you have a nine card or longer fit,
and when this conditions are fulfilled you don't loose much for the
wasted king (almost nothing) since without that king you would have to
add 2 points for the working diamond singleton, and the value of the
king is 2 points. I hope I have made myself clear.
