More Pro Training Pay Tables

Post by icon123 »

Hi,

I was wondering if we could get some more pay tables is some of the Pro Training. For example, the pay tables available in Ultimate X is hard to find at a real casino and the ones I usually visit are different (less payback). Unfortunately, the trainer is not very helpful in these situations because they favor straights and full houses, making the trainer almost useless for me. If I would have realized this originally, I wouldn't have boughten it and probably won't renew it unless we get some additional pay tables added.

Which specific pay tables are you looking for?

Pro Training already gives the user choices on many of the Ultimate X games. Many of these are down to the 95% or 96% level. That is pretty low. Are your casino's paybacks even lower?

For 3-hand and 5-hand Ultimate X, there are 2 Bonus schedules available, 4 Bonus Deluxe, 4 Deuces Wild, 3 Double Bonus, 4 Double Double Bonus, 4 Jacks or Better, and 2 Triple Double Bonus. For Single Hand Ultimate X, there are a few more choices in some categories: 3 for Bonus Poker, 5 for Bonus Deluxe, 5 for Double Bonus, 5 for Jacks or Better, and 4 different Joker schedules. Undoubtedly, there may be more pay schedules out there than is currently available with Pro Training. If yours are different, perhaps you could indicate which ones you are most interested in.

Ultimate X generally favors, as you say, straights and full houses, but also flushes on non-wild games more so than a standard video poker game strategy would. However, that has less to do with the pay schedules than it does with the large Next-Hand Multipliers you get with straights, flushes, and full houses. Those multipliers are high on the best pay schedules, but they are also high (sometimes identical) when applied to the lesser pay schedules that you more often would find in a typical low-EV casino. If you play Ultimate X at any level, you likely want to favor straights, flushes, and full houses more than you would if playing a regular non-Ultimate-X game. It looks to me like Pro Training helps in that regard.
