SF Breakup

[FAA]

No, this is not about a Frisco affair gone awry. Would you break up a straight flush on DW Fooler if dealt three deuces?

3 Deuces itself is worth 14.28 credits, average expected value is greater than the Straight Flush of 10 for 1. Thus break up straight flush on DW Fooler, as well as the 5 of a kind since that pays 12 for 1.

Not familiar with "Fooler" but if dealt trip wilds, hold only the deuces.

Thanks for the detailed reply, Phil. I was confronted with this dilemma because this version is on my phone. If it was in the casino itself, I would surely hang up! Worst case scenario you take the quad at 45% of the SF pay out. Oh, well.

Great stats. Being dealt three deuces is such a godsend that you should be chomping at the bit to quad deuce yourself, in hindsight.

You should break it in every Deuces game I'm aware of except "Colorado Deuces" while playing Ultimate X because of the 12X multiplier plus the 13 for 1 SF.

As for quints that's more tricky.

break in full pay deuces if quint 2-9s, hold if quint Ts-As

All other games, hold if quints are 75 or higher. Break if 60 or lower.
