Deuces Hold

Post by FAA »

In FPDW, holding three to a RF is not recommended, AFAIK. Anyone get a wild or legit RF regardless? It's probably a long term losing hold.

FAA,

You hold 3 to the royal. Use freeslots.com and select video poker. Turn on trainer mode. Play one hand. Select change cards on bottom left to setup a dealt hand and look at the left column for the best plays. A cool useful free web page.

I'm not at all sure where you would get that idea. Being dealt three royal cards is a fairly frequent occurrence, and very rarely, in full pay deuces wild, would you not hold and draw to them.

Aha. Good site. Asking novice questions pays off. Well, it's free. And if the game you want is one of the few games it covers, you can practice.There are a number of trainers on the market where you can customize your learning far more than on this site.if you insist on free, at least go to the wizardofodds.com site where you can enter in your own pay schedules and not be limited to the few they have here.Being free is over-rated. On better software (Video Poker for Winners or WinPoker, for example), you'll be able to hone in on just the type of hands you want (whether it's easy, medium or hard --- or on WinPoker within a certain amount of coin-in.) You will learn MUCH faster and more efficiently on the better software.You'll spend a lot more hours using free software for the same information you'll get on the better software

Bob,

I own and use VPW software and I agree that the training mode is the best.

On freeslots.com, you can change the pay tables by clicking on the number you want to change [Ex. full house 9 to 8].

The web page is good if you are out away from your computer and want to check on a paytable or play using your phone.
