What is the difference between All American VP and others?  Best I can remember is low pay-out for quads but high for Straight flush...If you have a choice between All American /USA VP and  DDB which would you choose?
 
The key aspect of All American and USA Poker (they are the same game) is they payback 8 for 1 for FHs, FLs, ans STs. It also has the highest payback for SFs of any game I know. These make the strategy quite different from other games. The best return for this game is 100.7% which makes it better than any version of DDB out there. 
 
I would choose AA/USA once I learned the strategy.

If I recall, the strategy is substantially different from most other games because of the lure of those 40-credit paybacks for FH/ST/FL.

Mike, that is right. Going for 3 card straights is unqiue to AA/USA. I spent a little time on the strategy several years ago and found it more difficult than anything other than OEJs. However, that just means a little more time on the computer.
