Deuces Wild Poker

[grammie]

I woiuld too, but that's not what I said. That's what someone else ASSUMED. Read the original post. Deuces Wild hands fluctuate too much, especially in the "X" games where the following hand gets the multipier.

You might be able to make sense of my opinion if you read it. Plus the fact I never said a Royal with wild cards should be 4000 points like Paco said. geeze... just read.

[grammie]

never said that..

grammie your opinion in your opening post was that of sour grapes. You were initially upset because of a low score in a contest and were then wondering why a royal flush got such a low subsequent multiplier instead of the much higher straight flush multiplier. A game will only pay the highest hand and because a royal is a higher hand than a straight flush it will only garner the lower multiplier on the next hand.

To be honest with you, there were many readers of your originating post who were confused because none of us understood just what the heck point you were trying to make. So don't get mad at those of us whom you thought were confused about your original post, o.k?

It would still be nice though if for whatever reason there were 1 DW game buried on a lone multi-game machine, hidden in a dark, smoke filled corner, with sticky buttons, broken speaker, that no one plays, is set with such a pay schedule and happens to be the only open machine available. You reluctantly wander over to it and hit "More Games" looking for TDB and select it. The damn thing brings up DW instead and then you see it.

Hey, Onemoretry, where did I say that?? Did you even read my post or just make an opinion of seeing a couple words that you recognized? duh man. Well, you stated: "The hand scores should remain the same in every game...no variations".

What, then, exactly, did you mean by that?

And, another question: four of a kind occurs about once every fifteen or sixteen hands in deuces wild, versus once per 420-430 hands in a non wild game, while straight flushes come along, on average, roughly once per 200 hands in deuces wild, as compared to once per 9000 hands or so in non wild games. How can you possibly disagree, as you did, with the statement that these hands are much easier to attain in deuces wild?

You wrote a post that was incomprehensible. Then you attack someone for not understanding your gibberish? All while asking for help? Duh. Indeed.

Playing for free on this site I say Who gives a razazz about volatility, variance and all that jazz. Just play the games with the largest payouts for good hands in the contests. You only have 100 whacks at a good one each session. Playing a game with only 1 or 2 high paying hands limits your chances within that 100 as far as I'm concerned.

Actually when one is new to Ultimate X, one of the first things that people notice is that the multipliers awarded for what are generally the bigger hands (quads, SFs, and royals for nonwild games) are lower than the multipliers awarded for the intermediate paying hands (full houses, flushes, and straights).  This, of course, is the major contributor to Ultimate X having significantly different strategies than regular video poker games without multipliers. (There would still be some strategy differences unless the multipliers were designed very carefully to be nearly proportional to the regular payoffs)Giving grammie the benefit of the doubt, consider the following hand JH, TH, QH, 2D, 2C.  In regular poker, you can make wild cards whatever you want.  For example, if straight flushes were paying more (or were higher hands) than royal flushes, you would want the wild cards to help form a straight flush (using the deuces to represent, say 89 of hearts rather than AK of hearts).Grammie, having said that I would still rather have 125 coins and a 2X multiplier on the next hand than 65 coins and a 12X multiplier.  The excess of each multiplier over 1X is generally worth a little less than 5 coins.  Now if the Wild Royal paid only 100 coins, which occurs on same games, I think I would rather that I had the option to name the wilds to form "only" a straight flush.I've also come across a game long ago, called Odyssey Deuces IIRC, where natural quads paid considerably more than 5 of a kind.  I always wondered if 5555K paid more than 55552.  I never played the game to find out.

New I'm thinking that grammie is questioning that a wild royal is also a straight flush and should therefore receive the 12X multiplier on the next hand and not a 2X multiplier as earned by a wild royal.

Otherwise; good to hear from you.
