Anyone with a VP trainer or ability to copy a strategy chart would be greatly appreciated!! I am stuck in a casino with 9/5 Triple Bonus plus and don't have a strategy card for it. Thanks for any help!

RF, SF, FL, ST, HC, LC -- These two-character symbols refer to royal flush, straight flush, flush, straight, high card, and low card, respectively. These symbols are followed by a number, which indicates how many cards are in the combination. For example, RF3 refers to a 3-card royal flush and HC2 refers to two unsuited high cards.                         
                         
"High Card -- In every game, a high card refers to a card where your money is returned if you get a pair of them. In Jacks or Better games, this means A, K, Q, or J. In Kings or Better Games, this means A and K only. In ""Pair of Aces"" games, it refers to the ace only."                         
                         
H -- This symbol refers to a high card lower than the first card indicated, so AH would refer to AK, AQ, and AJ, all of which have the same value. KH refers to KQ and KJ, both of which have the same value. AHHT refers to any of the following AKQT, AKJT, or AQJT.                         
                         
Quotation Marks -- These mean that the cards are suited with each other. As an example, 'AK' could mean A`K` or AcKc, but AK means cards are unsuited with each other, as in AcK`.                         
                         
0h, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h -- These refer to the number of high cards in a combination, so FL4 2h could mean A`K`7`3`, or QcJc9c4c.                         
                         
"Inside -- In straight and straight flush combinations, an inside refers to either a ""gap"" or a restriction due to being close to the ends of the A23456789TJQKA range."                         
                         
0i, 1i, 2i, 3i -- These refer to the number of insides in a combination. As an example, SF3 1h1i refers to a 3-card straight flush where there is one high card and one inside. Examples of such a combination are QcTc9c, JcTc8c, and Jc9c8c.                         
                         
Ranges -- We use the hyphen to indicate a consecutive range, so Low Pair 2-T refers to 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, or TT. SF3 1h1i 'QT9'-'J98' refers to all three of the combinations 'QT9', 'JT8', and 'J98'.                         
                         
Use of Commas -- A comma is used when the range is either non-consecutive OR there are different number of gaps in the same group of 3-card straight flushes. For example, in the phrase SF3 0h1i '234', '235'-'79T', the reason for the comma between '234' and '235' is because there are no gaps in '234' (even though it has an inside because of its proximity to the ace) and '235'-'79T' all have exactly one gap.                         
                         
Use of Semi-Colons -- When a single instruction includes combinations with different numbers of insides, we use a semi-colon to separate them. For example, FL4 2h; 1h; 0h refers to all 4-card flushes, with either two high cards (for example AcJc8c3c), one high card (for example K`T`3`2`), or no high cards (for example 9c7c5c2c).                         
                         
"With -- This refers to a ""kicker,"" which is a fifth card (when combined with a 4-of-a-kind) or in some games, a fourth card when combined with a 3-of-a-kind. As an example FOUR OF A KIND 2-4 with A,2-4 refers to any of the following: 2222A, 22223, 22224, 3333A, 33332, 33334, 4444A, 44442, or 44443."

If you're worried about Bob giving you trouble billy.

Just delete and use this instead:

9/5 TB+ strategy

It's pretty close to DDB strategy, fwiw.

The Wizard of Odds site has a VP strategy calculator that includes TP+, assuming you have internet access: http://wizardofodds.com/games/video-pok ... alculator/

You may have heard of them.A strategy is useful --- but it only does so much good. There are a lot of "relatively fine points" which are not so easy to understand the first time around.To get good at playing a game, you need correction when you're making a mistake. Software products are relatively inexpensive and provide a lot of information for you to improve your skills.Bob
