8/5 Super Aces Bonus Strategy

Post by Quad Deuces »

I have been working on a Super Aces Bonus advanced strategy chart and just added the exceptions using the awesome http://wizardofodds.com/games/video-pok ... lculator/I think it's pretty spot on.  Any suggestions for helping improve clarity?

1-14 contains a mistake  Suited QJ always wins against AHHT and KQJ9 even with a flush penalty.

No idea.  I play it at 10c 10-line here in Vegas at Rampart. 100.44% on Sundays plus solid mailers.

No. According to vpFree, east of the Mississippi, it exists in Tunica, Chicagoland (Hammond, IN), and Southern Indiana (near Louisville). It's a very swingy game though, worse than DDB.

The chart looks good Quad.

Yeah.  when the AAAA don't come it's brutal. But when they roll in it's awesome.  First time I played (about two weeks ago) I lost count how many sets of Aces I got.  Left up almost 3 royals-worth.  Since then, not so much.  :) I like that there are no kickers.  Makes the strategy easier.

Okay.  Here's my final.  I decided to move "SF4 any" up a line and move 3OAK down since they're mutually exclusive.  The player decision is "Do I hold a pat flush/straight or 4 to a straight flush" it makes sense for them to be on the same line even though an SF4 is worth less than 3OAK (not aces).I also manipulated it so it's perfectly clear that you should break aces full and two pair AA-any.The original image up top has been updated.  Sorry for the workflow fail.I searched high and low for a strategy card and came up empty.Hope someone holds an RF3 instead of a high pair and hits.  Post a pic.

OK, now that it is done, can you explain how I am supposed to use it ?

Find the highest play for any given hand. I think you would like it since you like TDB.

Since Bob gets chastised for answering a lot of questions with "buy my stuff" even though it's really the best answer, I'll do it.If you were to buy any of the Dancer/Daily strategy cards they come with a small booklet detailing how to use them.  If you understood one of those cards, this one would make perfect sense.Anything not answered in the booklet would be answered in the appropriate strategy guide book.In the above chart, straights and straight draws are in yellow, flushes and flush draws are in blue, straight flushes and straight flush draws are in pink, royal flushes and royal flush draws are in green.  Suited cards are bold-italic. H means any high card of lower rank than a rank named first.  The +X number after straight flush draws is the number of high cards minus the number of gaps. So QJ8 would be SF3 +0, while 256 or 69T would be SF3 -2.When practicing using software, this chart has yet to be wrong.  I've played a few thousand hands with several exceptions coming up.
