Shockwave Poker

Post by Royally Flushed »

When playing Shockwave Poker and getting a four of a kind. What is the proper strategy for the ten hands that follow to try and get another four of a kind? If you are dealt two non matching jacks or better cards, do you hold one of the high cards or both?

You can use the Wizard of Odds strategy calculator and substitute the Jacks or Better numbers with the Shockwave payouts during the "bonus phase".

For the full-pay strategy in the link above, you are supposed to hold two suited high cards, but only hold the lowest high card if they are unsuited (exception AKQJ - hold all of them).

Also a 7, 8, 9 or T is better than garbage...I wouldnt have guessed that.
