raise draw videopoker

Post by europesbest »

Hello friends,
 
where I can find strategies and odds for a raise draw poker machine.It exists as a jacks or better and as a jokers wild?
Raise draw means, you start every hand with 5 coins.If you have a good or a winning hand you can raise your bet until 10 coins.
 
Thank you for help
regards
Stefan

With such questions I always look first at:http://wizardofodds.com/I didn't see anything in my initial search, but I didn't dig very deep, so you might have better luck.Personally, I probably would plug the paytable into Video Poker Strategy Master ( http://www.zamzone.com/tomski/VPSM.asp - no affiliiation ... I'm just a satisfied customer), and when dealt any hand with an EV > 1 raise the bet to 10.  Calculating how much this would increase the overall EV is probably a bit more complicated, so I'm not gonna try to speculate right now.--Havspace

The base payback for the machine is going to be pretty bad since everyone will raise the bet on winning hands. In order to calculate the true EV you'd need to know what percentage of hands had a return > 1 and then factor the two times multiplier into those hands. I suspect this would require a software program to compute (or a lot of time with a caclulator).
