Video Poker ????

Ok, I have a question for VP lovers.

If you are dealt a hand like this....what do you do?

5-5-Q-8-3

Do you hold the Queen or the 5%26#39;s? Wondering if there is an advantage to one or the other.

Is there a particular VP game that you like better than others?

TIA!

9/6 JOB, Hold the pair.

You would hold the pair.

Not enough information.

I need to know:

(a) How much money have I lost; and

(b) How much have I had to drink.

;)

Pair.

Of course I would.

I can%26#39;t explain the math I just memorized a training program for 9/6 JOB and holding the pair is the correct decision.

How about:

8h 7c Kc 8c Ac ?

play the 4 to a flush over a low pair

Here is a great link for strategy for VP

Remember that strategy depends on the game you%26#39;re playing. That link is for 9/6 Jacks or Better; you most likely won%26#39;t find that at any Strip hotels under the $5 level!

Either way, playing some kind of strategy is better than none at all, and it won%26#39;t take thirty minutes to memorize the basic strategy for Jacks or Better.

Personally, I play 9/6 Jacks and 8/5 Bonus Poker whenever possible... I%26#39;ll play lower games if they%26#39;re bartops and I%26#39;m getting fast drinks and slow playing the machine.

Hi.

Thanks, Wilma. That is cool.

Yes, definetly hold the pair. assuming that there are not 4 cards to a flush. In the strategy tables, a low pair is relatively good. The other replies are correct in that the strategy varies depending on which game is being played.

My Favorites are 10/7 double bonus. (getting harder to find, but still exist in Vegas) and Full pay Deuces Wild. Both have over %100 long term payback.
