.Thank you vman for suggesting my card. It is portable. It does categorize hands.] And, they are extremely durable. The ones I've managed not to lose, I've had for twenty plus years.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm still playing online to get ready to visit a nearby casino that has 9/7/5 double bonus poker. according to vpfree2 this is a 99.11% game. I am pretty proficient at following strategy for JOB. And, it can also be applied here, but it is not perfect strategy.

BTW, I'm following these "rules":

They are not that easy to follow. Also, my VP computer program gives me warning when I'm not following perfect strategy.

Also, apologies that in my original post I said "bonus poker" when I should have said "double bonus poker".

I'm not sure what you mean by "it can be applied here", but I would caution you that the playing strategy for 9/7 double bonus is a lot different than that of JOB.

The original poster was talking about using the WOO strategy. Those strategies have the very commendable assets of being free, accurate, and basically instantaneous. They have many not-so-user-friendly long lists of actual hands that comply with each rule. This is NOT suitable for printing out. Consulting the site inside a casino requires an Internet connection and it still takes considerable time.Thank you vman for suggesting my card. It is portable. It does categorize hands. It is not free. There are other cards on the market.Whatever system you use, you need practice AWAY from the casino to become competent.

I strongly advise this, training hard prior to playing beforehand will allow the player to play much more efficiently than someone who has to look up the charts every so often.

I prefer to spend less time in a second hand smoky environment as much as possible, thus the time I spend has to be efficient and will not look at charts on the way.

Yes Double Bonus is one of the hardest games to master, but is rarely the best game of choice though.

you can work around that internet connection by putting windows emulator on your phone followed by wolf video poker both which are free and no internet needed when using the program.before i had to use a big tablet which made it obvious but i was not afraid but now you too can use your phone and  no internet connection needed

double bonus is much more difficult to play correctly than bonus poker where u can employ job strategy and be close to 100% perfect play.
