The player has a king of clubs, 10 of clubs, 9 of spades, 6 of clubs, and a 3 of diamonds. For example, take the situation in footnote F. In rare situations cards you would never keep can still tip the scales in favor of one play over another. Penalty card: Sometimes one must discard a potentially useful card. Note that A-2-3-4 and J-Q-K-A are considered inside straights because only one rank will complete them. Inside straight: A straight with a missing inside card, such as 5-6-7-9. Outside straight: An open-ended straight that can be completed at either end, such as 6-7-8-9. These cards are retained more often because if paired up they return the original bet. 4 to an inside straight, 0 high cards (discard everything).4 to an inside straight, 1 high card (keep the single high card).4 to an inside straight, 2 high cards (keep the two high cards).3 unsuited high cards, ace highest (keep the lowest two high cards).In parenthesis I put what you should do with these hands. Either some subset of these hands are better than the larger hand, or discarding everything is better. king only: Normally the suited ten and king is better than the king alone, however, if you must discard a 9 and a flush penalty card, then hold the king only.īy request I have removed hands that are never played from the list. an unsuited queen and ace - If there is no flush penalty card, then keeping the 10 and queen is the better play, otherwise keep the queen and ace. an unsuited jack and king - If there is no flush penalty card, then keeping the 10 and jack is the better play, otherwise keep the jack and king. Knowing this exception will add 0.00000020 to the game return. 4 to an inside straight, with 3 high cards: Play the 3 to a straight flush if there is no straight penalty card. Knowing this exception will add 0.00000021 to the game return.Ĥ to an inside straight beats suited jack and queen with 9 or flush penalty card.ģ to a straight flush, spread 5, with 1 high card vs. 3 to a straight flush (type 3) (0.4431)Ĥ to a flush beats 3 to a royal if royal includes a ten and ace, and the unsuited card is a 10 or straight penalty card.2 unsuited high cards ace highest (0.4743).2 unsuited high cards king highest (0.4862).4 to an inside straight, 3 high cards (0.5319).4 to an inside straight, 4 high cards (0.5957).4 to an outside straight with 0-2 high cards(0.6809).If used correctly it should yield perfect play. I admit this is a long and rather difficult strategy but I believe it correctly advises every possible hand. To test yourself on other hands try my video poker quiz. Should you sacrifice the low pair to complete the flush or sacrifice the possible flush and keep the low pair? From the list below 4 to a flush has a higher ranking and thus is the better play. Suppose you have both four to a flush and a low pair. These numbers can vary depending on the discards. The numbers on the right represent the average return. If a play isn't on the list then it should never be played. To use this strategy, look up all reasonable ways to play a hand, and choose the play that is highest on the list.
