One Hundred Play VP question
Posted: Thu Mar 07, 2024 12:22 pm
I like playing 100 play video poker, but I’m not sure of strategy for Triple Double Bonus.
We’re dealt two pain, AAJJ. We hold the AA only.
But what about:
a) KKJJ - hold both, or go for quads? Note: either or pays 5 credits
b) 3355 - hold both, or go for quad 3s? Note: holding both pays 5 credits.
c) KK99 - hold both, or go for quad Ks? Note: holding the Ks pays the same as two pair.
d) 2244 - hold both or go for either quad 2s, or quad 4s? Note: holding both pays 5 credits.
e) QQ33 - hold both or go for quad 3s + kicker, or go for quad Q’s?
Is the strategy the same for Single play, triple play, five play, ten play, 25 play, 50 play, or 100 play?
If you hold both pairs the best hand to get is a full house. Worse case - your money back.
If you hold any Low pair, the best you can do is quads w/kicker. Worse case nothing.
If you hold any High pair, the best you can get is quads. Worse case - your money back.
I’ve been trying to determine the correct move.
Playing 100 Play VP easily gets you percentages to check. I was trying to follow the rules for TDB, but I was restricting myself to two pair or a Full House, so what I’ve been doing in a two pair deal is:
a) Two high pair - holding one pair (Ks or Js), to go for quads
b) Two pair, one Low, one midrange - holding the low pair, to go for quad/quad+
c) Two pair, one high, one midrange - holding the high pair, to go for quads
d) Two Low pair - holding either low pair, to go for quad/quad+
e) Two pair, High and Low - holding the high pair to go for quads.
Again I’m playing 100 play Triple Double Bonus.
What’s the correct strategy? In Single Play, you get one chance. In 100 play, you get 100 chances.
What would you do? What would Dancer do?
Thanks
