What is the correct hold?

Post by **mendon** » Fri Aug 03, 2012 9:30 am

I was wondering what the correct hold is when dealt 3 aces and 2 nines,Do you take the full house or go for the aces. I was given that today on 100 play, I did go for the full house but was wondering if that was right

Depends on the game. DDB and TDB you would go for aces, I know. Jacks or Better you would keep the full house. It's because Aces pay so much more in the bonus games.

No promises that it would have turned out better holding the aces. It's the best hold for a long term strategy but if this was in the contest, you might choose to play things differently. But I'd still go for the aces in the contest. Nobody ever won one of these things with a full house.
