True, but the job frequency is even smaller than the quads in deuces without the deuces. I stopped counting the job sessions where I would get anywhere from 0 to 3 quads in 5-8 hours of play there were so many. I have completely abandoned 99.54 job at this point. Am fairly close to holding my own with airport deuces and 98.44 Joker kings. My bankroll busts have almost all been on job.
The nature of Jacks or Better, Olds, is “hit the royal flush or lose.” That’s pretty much it. But the royal flushes come, every 40,000 hands on average. They just aren’t predictable when they come. If you play this 99.54% game, at the same stakes, for a million hands, you will end up very close to 25 royals and your return will be close to 99.5%. If you play Airport Deuces the same length of time, your return will be close to 98.9%. The results of the Joker Wild variation you play will be worse. I’m assuming the casino gives you the same benefit for all three games, which doesn’t have to be the case at all.
The problem isn’t in the game. It’s in your clone process that attempts to be ahead TODAY by continually increasing your stakes and hitting semi-premium hands which will catch you up and then you can start over again with low stakes. The deuces game bails you out with four deuces at 200-1 payback once in 4500 hands or so. JoB doesn’t have any non-royal payback paying more than 50-1, and that happens once in 9,000 or so. But the royal comes faster in JoB --- just not always today.
Should you play JoB consistently for the same stakes, your results will be much better than playing either of the other two games.
It’s your money, of course, and you can do as you please. If you hate JoB for any reason, you don’t have to play it. But you’re blaming the game and not your methodology for your losses. And that’s not accurate.
