Dealt a Straight Flush, would you try for Royal Flush or keep Straight Flush and why?

If you are playing Jacks or Better then you would keep the Straight Flush because the theoretical return is higher. But different games require different strategies. In FP Deuces Wild you would go for the Royal Flush.

Ignoring any other possible pays, you're attempting a 1 in 47 shot to get paid 16 times more then you're currently going to get paid. The answer is easy.

The OP did say this was Bonus Poker and not any type of DW game.

My mistake. I overlooked the OP's title. I was checking the forum while waiting for a hand pay.
