Deuces Wild question

[marie meijer]

Dealt ACE and KING in Spades, 2, Ace clubs, 2. What would you do? I know what trainer would do!

Hold 4Aces, especially if your playing BDW.

In the past, when faced with problems like this, Eduardo would suggest holding the bare AK of spades and going for it.  And with an Illinois Deuces pay schedule and a progressive on the royal of more than 389,900 coins (with a lot of competition for the royal), he would be right.Marie, by posing the question, are we to infer that, despite advice from the trainer, you would be tempted to go after the wild royal rather than keeping the quads and free-rolling at the 5-tree?

I might add "DW is a game of pairs".  Shamelessly lifted from a BD article.

faygo, YOU and the trainer agree! HOW did you get to be so smart w DW VP. 'Thought you only played ACJOKER VP games!HAHA, New2vp.YOU got that right, New. 125 coins looks far better to me from the wild royal flush than a mere 75 for 5oak on DW that trainer hoped for me. HAD this been DWB, I would have more clearly seen the value/sense of wanting 5ACES for more $$.  IT was the ace or deuce option V the Q or J or 10 of spades or deuce option for that wild royal. I LIKE more options and more $$ if it hits! Thanks for your input, faygo and new.  That was a fun hand that slowed down my bionic pace for a few, whereas so many hands are no brainers.It is much more fun for me to play group challenges. However, I still learn from trainer and it helps me to warm up , brush up and practice before casino trips.

marie there were only three playable games at Windsor, DWb  which bored me silly , KB Joker which I did good on and a $1 Nevada Aces game.
