Hey all,I like to play 100 hand (when I can find it) VP Jacks or better anywhere from 1 cent to 10 cents per hand X5.My question is, should I be playing bonus poker instead of JoB? I'm fairly new to playing, but would like to make sure I'm playing the right version.

I'm not sure, more asking overall.

Here's a list of pay tables for many games.

As shadowman linked, it is dependent on paytables. For CET in Vegas at least, I have always seen that 6/5 Bonus is the better paying game because JoB is never better than 7/5. To compare JoB and Bonus where 4 Aces pay 80 for 1, 4 2-4s pay 40 for 1, and all others pay 25 for 1: If the sum of full house and flush on 1 credit is 2 or more higher on JoB, then play JoB. Otherwise play Bonus. Example 6/5 Bonus (11) is a better game than 7/5 JoB (12) but not better than 8/5 JoB (13).   Here is a post by me describing the use of this technique for other non-wild card games as well:
