check out this duecess wild move

Post by pokerpoke »

Hello all,
Was playing duecess wild quarters ( single line ) for about 10 minutes when automatic flush came up with 2 duecess, a gut hunch told me to just keep the duecess and I did and what happened..... 2 more duecess came up for a total of 4,  1000 quarters. Oh Yeah.  So has any GUT HUNCHES pay off for you ?  Good Luck To All

Correct strategy is to always hold two deuces over a pat flush.

  First look at the 5th card......Just kidding. Hold all 4 wrf but do not discard 4kor sf. Close your eyes, draw and listen for a LONG win count.

Really funny.  I was just playing regular triple play on this site... held the 2 2's and hit 4 deuces on the bottom line!
 
I would trade it for a hit in the casino though.

Many years ago I happened to be sitting next to a guy who was dealt a pair of 2's in DDB triple play and drew the other 2 2's on ALL THREE lines!  If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it.   After the initial "Woo-hoo!" he grumped about not picking up any kickers.  Geez.

I've had couple of similar experiences. On 5-play I held a pair of nines and picked up the other two nines on 3 lines (not nearly as impressive as 3 out of 3). Once, I was dealt 3 queens and drew the 4th one on 4 of the 5 lines.

Was playing TDB the other day and was getting killed all day on everything I was dealt JJ33? And said screw it and tossed out the jacks.  Ended up with 33332 to save the day for $2K.  *whew*

Why is it I always hit the pair I discard whenever I do this? (Usually only in tournaments)
