Shadowman, thanks very much, very helpful.  Sometimes, at least where I play in Indiana, these games come with 9-5 and 8-6, I forget which is which.  Is there a formula, say start with 9-6, then + or - .xx for each point change in a flush or FH?

For what it's worth, I hold Full Houses with TTF's in DDB, and hold the trips only in TDB. I hold trip Aces only in both DDB and TDB.

Does that make me a "gambler", a "player" or something else?

Yes there is. The rule of thumb is to add or subtract 1% to/from the games return for each change of 1 credit. This is not exact (it's a little close to 1.1%),  but it is close enough.
 
For example, 9/6 DDB returns 98.98% and 10/6 returns 100.06%. A difference of 1.08%.
