Special Strategy for Player's Advantage Machines?
On a recent trip to Laughlin, NV, I played on some Game King Player's Advantage machines that featured, among other games, a version of Jacks or Better that paid 450 coins on a Straight Flush (with max coins bet) as opposed to the usual 250. My question is: Should one alter the usual (9/6 JOB) strategy and break up a Pat Straight--or even a Flush--to go for the Straight Flush? Does anyone know of a printed strategy for this and other Player's Advantage games?

If you knew the other payouts you could plug the pay table into a program like VPW and generate a full strategy. Yes, there should definitely be changes in the correct holds.

Yes, there will be strategy changes. For example, if dealt suited QJ9 with an unsuited ten you would normally hold the ST4 in 9/6 JOB. With the increased value of the SF you should now hold just the SF3.
As Eduardo indicated, you should invest in one ot the many software products that runs right on your own computer and will give you the answers fast. I just ran VPSM to get the above example, but VPW, FVP and WVP would also do the job.
