Test your skills

Just a comment about the test your skills page. If you are playing video poker in a casino the object of playing is to be able to play long enough to hit a jackpot. Holding three cards to a straight flush over holding face cards to get a play back is foolish. The odds of drawing the straight flush or even a flush are huge. This holds true even more on deuces wild poker because the hands from a flush down don't pay enough to warrant holding for them with three or less even if they will stretch for the straight flush. Also, very rarely do you hold for an inside straight in live poker much less video poker. On deuces wild there are two hands you are striving for--4 deuces and a royal flush. If you are dealt 2 deuces without a pair you hold only the pair of deuces. If you are dealt only one deuce that's what you hold.
