you're at less than 5 mistakes per 1000 now? That's pretty damn good. Better than me for sure. The only games I would expect myself to be that good on is JoB, and probably Bonus.

I have only been practicing just a select few games with specific pay tables using the Video Poker Pocket android mobile app.

NSU Deuces 25/16/10/4/4/3
Jacks or Better 9/6
Bonus Deluxe 9/6
Double Double Bonus 9/6

This year I have been playing at least 15-20 minutes (about 300 hands) a day. 5 days out of the week I played NSUD, 1 day it is for Jacks or Better, and the other 1 day will be alternating between Bonus Deluxe and DDB. If I were to play any other paytable or any other game e.g. Double Bonus/TDB/Bonus/Bonus Deuces, I would not be able to play anywhere near 98%.

At the same time I am trying to play the good games (99.5%) while its available, as looking all over the forum I see various jurisdictions slashing pay tables so I did not want to take it for granted the games I have available. I still play mostly the low variance Jacks or Better to retain Tier 2 status on the casino club, but I will switch to Bonus Deluxe if I enter a quad drought "hoping" the law of averages will allows quads to appear more often to make the 1 credit 2 pair trade for the 80 credit quad worth it. I will play the Deuces when I am nearly at the quota as it gives less tier points than Jacks or Better. But for the actual results at the casino for Deuces, outside of one good session, it has not gone well for me. I will try to play Deuces again when I reach the Tier 2 quota this year, but for now I am practicing on the side.

The book has made a difference with the penalty situations. The reasonable simplifications box which consists of a few sentences to remember covers more than 80 percent of the penalty situations. I wrote down the Daily/Dancer strategy on a memo paper and carry it around my wallet, I look at it before playing the pocket app. The book has detailed explanation of each rank of the strategy chart and it has helped me understand the basic strategy better.

I have not started to practice Airport Deuces yet which is a big reason I got this book. But from just skimming through it, it seems that it is slightly tougher to master than NSU Deuces it is a valuable resource to help you learn the game.

    In defense of DaBurglar (Huh, WHAT?) he wasn't questioning my sister being a nurse.    Whet he did say though was this: "So what makes her a successful nurse, she didn't kill anyone during her last shift?"

   I write about video poker all the time and you accuse me of making it up, or reposting old pictures, or posting pictures of wins that aren't mine, or doctoring pictures.    It will take quite a while longer for me to forget the remark you made about my sister DaBurglar.

I do believe that winning streaks are real but then again, so are losing streaks.
