I didn't see a Video Poker Training game for Bonus Poker on the Wiz's site, so I started playing Video Poker Trainer.

I was dealt the following hand: AS 6S 7C JH 3D

Wiz's Video Poker Hand Analyzer states that a player should hold AS JH for an expected return of 0.480543 (2.402).

Video Poker Trainer states that a player should hold the JH giving a higher expected return of 2.530 (0.506)

Video Poker Trainer states that holding AS JH is incorrect, you were dealt AS 6S 7C JH 3D and held AS JH for an expected return of 2.460 (0.492).

Wiz's Video Poker Hander Analyzer states that holding the JH gives a player an expected return of 0.471225 (2.356).

Can anyone verify, which is the correct play?

Just playing this video poker trainer:

Correct, you were dealt 4♠3♦4♥5♦4♦ and held 4♠4♥4♦ for the highest expected return of 46.739.

A return of 46.739 for max bet? lol No.

This thing definitely has bugs.

The Wiz's stuff is right.

You can practice on the video poker game here or here. Strategy advice/warnings/etc will only work if you have Java installed and enabled. Load the game, click the More Games button, go back a page and click on Bonus Poker.
