Variants Of
Poker
Lots of books have been
written on the strategy of video poker.
There are many people who argue that
choosing the right strategy can reduce the
advantage of the casino to zero or even turn
it in favor of the player.
Of course, there are some
general tips that will lead to a more
successful game, here are ten of them:
Always place the maximum
(five credits). Most video poker games offer
a bonus for a royal flush on the maximum
rate, which reduces the advantage on the
side of the casino .
Never pull four cards if you can draw three
to a royal flush. Instead, hold two suited
high cards, even if one of them - a dozen.
Do not play too quickly.
Video poker - it's not a race. Your
impatience can lead to disastrous results.
Leave yourself enough time to explore hands
and make a better decision.
As seen above, the
winning strategy is to collect a royal flush
and hold the winning hand, rather than
trying to improve a little. Below are some
tips on how to play the hand that is
unlikely to bring a royal flush.
Small steam . In general, always keep a
couple of small, yet no card can be used to
flush or two cards to a royal flush. There
is no advantage in breaking up couples in
the case of the pursuit of straight, even if
possible open-ended straight. In addition,
there is no advantage in maintaining two
cards suited or unsuited, if not a couple.
High pair . There is an
ace, king, queen or jack. When you come to
two high suited cards do not throw off any
of them. If you are dealt four high cards
hold two suited or the lowest two of them,
but unsuited. In case was dealt two unsuited
high cards, hold them both until you get
three cards to a flush, then hold three
suited cards.
Tens . If you have on hand dozens and below,
do not start to play these cards is almost
worthless. That's why tens are not
considered as high pair, only if they do not
come with a suited ace, king, queen or jack.
In this case, follow the instructions for
the high cards above.
Straight draw . When you
got 4 out of 5 cards for a possible
straight, keep the game if: a) you keep two
or more high cards in rank or b) you do not
have the opportunity to pair and ended
straight draw (you have 8 outs). As a rule,
single-ended straight draw should be
avoided.
