Strategies for Video Poker and Variants!
If you are using one of the strategy tables
below make sure you analyze every hand very carefully. Take your
time, there is no need to rush. The videopoker machine will
patiently wait for your decision regardless how long it takes.
Jacks or Better
Hold any paying hands you get
dealt. The only reason to slit them up would be if you get dealt
at least four cards to a Royal Flush.
If you don't get any paying hand dealt
check the following and select the first option on the list that
applies to the hand you were dealt. You should always hold any:
Single High Card
Two High Cards of a different
suit
Two High Cards of the same
suit
Low Pair (Tens and lower)
Jack, Queen or King
of different suits
Jack, Queen, King
or Ten of the same suit
Four consecutive cards to a
Straight
Four cards to a Flush
Three cards to a Straight
Flush
Four cards to a Straight Flush
Three cards to a Royal Flush
Four cards to a Royal Flush
It is recommended if you are not dealt any
of the above you should draw a whole new hand of five cards.

Follow these suggested guidelines if you
are dealt a hand without a joker. You should always hold
any:
