Ultimate X

On ten-play DDB Ultimate X, you are dealt two pair, aces and _ _. Is the proper play to go for the full house, pitch the small pair, or does the strategy vary with the number of multipliers?
You forgot a key part of the problem --- namely what is the pay schedule.The WoO website http://wizardofodds.com/games/video-pok ... ble-bonus/ gives a "unified" strategy for the 9/6 DDB game, and using that strategy you hold two pair. If full houses only paid 8-for-1 (and you were silly enough to voluntarily play that game), you would be more likely to just hold the aces.Truthfully, it matters how many multipliers are there --- and also what the three cards are other than the aces. For example, with AA223 you are much more likely to hold two pair than with AAKKQ simply because when you get the four aces, you'd rather have all 12 potential kickers still in play rather than just nine of them.But the only published strategy is the one by the WoO. If you want a more complete strategy or for a different pay schedule, you'll have to work it out by yourself or pay a very competent computer programmer to work it out for you.Bob
