Wizardofodds.com strategy generator anomaly

I recently looked at 9/6 Bonus Poker Deluxe on the strategy generator. It says to always hold four to a flush over three to a royal. There are no exceptions listed. I believe (and the video poker wizard app seems to agree) you only hold four to a flush over three to a royal if the royal cards include an ace and a ten.

I agree with you. If you look at the hand analyzer it would keep the 3 card royal without the A10.

I also noticed one other thing with the strategy generator, but do not have problems with the other 2 generators. On my laptop using Chrome with Adblock on I do not get a response from the strategy generator. It just churns and churns. If I turn adblock off it will respond. I am not normally using my laptop for strategy generation. I am usually using my desktop and windows explorer and don't have any problems.

I see this bug for 9/6 and 10/6 DDB as well. Good catch QuadDeuces!

But if you look at the detailed list for 4 to a flush though, you will not see hands like KQT7 listed. So it isn't creating an incorrect table, just a misleading one. :(

If possible, JBs calculator should break up the 3 to a Royal lines like this:

3 to a Royal: TJQ; TJK; TQK; JQA; JQK; JKA; QKA
4 to a Flush: Tons of flush draws
3 to a Royal: TJA; TQA; TKA

I'll look into it -- thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I just happened to be looking at the strategy for BPD and I see it is still not splitting the 3 card royals such that the ones without AT are not above 4 card flushes.

By the way, I was looking at BPD because I have decided that there will not be a wizard app for android phones. Even though I have printed strategy charts I decided to load them as documents in my phone. Who knows I might forget my strategy charts on route to a casino.

So is there any possibility of the wizard app for androids?

Also another possible anomaly is in Deuces Wild. I recently was using the strategy calculator to analyze "Colorado Deuces" w/a 5600 coin Royal. This is on a few 50/100 plays with STP and is the best penny game in my area to my knowledge. Since the Royal is worth 5600, 4 to a Natural Royal is superior to a Wild Royal with 1 Deuce. The strategy calculator correctly omits the Wild Royal in the pat hands, but also doesn't suggest 4 to a Natural Royal Flush below it.

And larwiz, I would still try to remember to bring the printouts. You're still using "an electronic device", even if it's a PDF reader. They'll probably just yell at you for it in actual practice though if you would get busted, at least I'd hope.
