I'm playing DDB. I'm having an issue understanding why sometimes off suited face cards are kept over an A but sometimes the A is kept over two off suited face cards.

In single hand game king, KB Joker Poker on the 98.937% pay table I was dealt 3C, 5D, QH, Joker, 6H Pro training says the best hold is 5D and Joker. This makes sense over holding 6H and Joker due to the flush penalty from the queen. What doesn’t make sense is how the EV for KB can vary between those two holds. Joker and 5D is listed at 1.519 while Joker and 6H is listed at 1.57. I am having some trouble wrapping my head around best holds for joker poker when dealt one joker and various unsuited low cards and this is throwing me off even more. What am I missing here?

Howdy, In Ultimate X triple play it says hold 3 to the flush with A Q 6 hearts but says only hold J 10 diamonds when there is three to the flush with J 10 6 diamonds. Why would it tell me to hold 3 to a flush sometimes and 2 to a flush other times. It doesn't add up to me. This has happened several times in my last session. Confusing..

I have a question about calculating the return of a video poker game when you take in to account a slot club promotion. I'm not sure if you normally tackle questions like this but I hope so! At my local casino the best video poker game is 8/5 Bonus Poker with a .9917 return. The also have a weekly promotion where you earn 200 tier points and you play a kiosk game where the minimum free slot play you can win is $35, I also get $10 free play each week. You must play $10 to earn 1 tier point. I get $45 in free play, I must run $2,000 through the machine so that's $45/$2,000 = .0225. Then I add the .9917 return from Bonus poker to .0225 and get a 1.0142 potential return. Is that correct

Hi In Double Double Bonus: Js Qc 2c 4h Ad. Pro trainer says JQ is correct hold rather than A, but I have only seen this phenomenon when in this sequence. Typically A is held unless QJ are suited. Any insight to the reasoning? Thanks!

While playing Dueces Wild (98.1% )in training mode I'm struggling with why a starting hand of 2 a royal (10-King, Ace-Ten, King-Queen) with nothing else is a correct choice sometimes. What am I missing?

In the Royal Caribbean club rewards you receive one point for every $5 that goes through the slot play and one point for every $10 through poker video poker. Video poker games are 7/5 payout. With that information is it better for me to play slots or video poker because I want the best rewards for free cruises. I am new to slot machines. I have always played the quarter machine.

In DDB sometimes they said to keep all aces with 2 or less face cards, then in some cases it is completely opposite to throw away the ace and keep the face cards. Why is this?
