There are numerous exceptions to the Chen approximation, which can be identified by using the following set of rules:

Chen is the author of the Chen Formula which was published in Lou Krieger's 2000 book Hold 'em Excellence. The formula ranks Texas hold 'em starting hands by assigning them a numerical value, as follows:
The 12-Chen Point Count in general is the Sklansky and Malmuth hand grouping. Examples:
8 8♣ ♠: 4 pts for the first 8, double for the pair is 8 Chen points. This puts it in S&M group 4.9 7♣ ♣: 4.5 points for the 9, -1 for the 1 gap, +2 for the same suit and +1 for the straight bonus. Round up to 7 Chen points which is in S&M group 5.

Chen formula
1. Take the high card and score it. A=10,K=8,Q=7,J=6 and 10 to 2 = 1/2 the value of the card. (a 6 is worth 3, for example)2. If the 2nd card pairs the first, then the value is twice the high card point (e.g., KK=16). The minimum score for a pair is 5 (e.g., pair of deuces is worth 5, not 2).
3. Round up any half points.
4. If the cards are not paired then calculate the gap for the lower card and subtract a gap penalty. The gap is the number of cards required to complete the sequence, for example, a 9 and 6 have a gap of 2, needing an 8 and 7 to complete the sequence:
For a gap of 0 subtract 0.
For a gap of 1 subtract 1.
For a gap of 2 subtract 2.
For a gap of 3 subtract 4.
For a gap of 4 or more subtract 5 (includes A2,A3,A4, A5).5. If the cards are of the same suit apply a flush bonus of +2 pts.6. If the cards have a gap of 0 or 1 and the top card is a J or lower apply a +1 bonus.
