Ok so I see this game has a 100.64% return.

My question is: Is there a basic strategy page for this like there is for 17/7/5?

Up until now, I've been following the strategy for 17/7/5 but I'm wondering if there are any subtle differences since the straight flush pays out more.

Thanks.

Either Google "video poker strategy calculator" or if you search the Wizard's Odds site you'd find his:

https://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/strategy/calculator/

You can select 5 card draw poker, joker poker, then enter the pay table in question. It'll give you the HE and the playing strategy...
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

Oh wow I wish I'd found this sooner. Looks like there are a lot of differences!

I've been just playing Ace instead of AT AJ AQ suited, also discarding everything instead of playing QJ QT suited. I just even had a hand where I held a pat straight over 4 to a straight flush :( (This hand was the one that got me thinking)

If you had to estimate, what would you say is my return for playing 20/7/5 with the 17/7/5 strategy? I guess I've been lucky that I've made a profit while playing this way but a little disappointed that I may have missed out on a royal.

Thanks for the reply!

The tool posted above can answer that question for you.
