Quick Quads Decision

Ok, did I play this one correctly?
I'm playing 50 hand Triple Double Bonus Poker with Quick Quads. I get dealt 10, 10 8, 2, 7. My options are to keep the two 10's and go for quads with the three draw cards or keep the 10's and the 8 and the 2. Then if I get a 10 in my one draw card it counts as quads because the 8 and the 2 equal 10 for the three 10 I have.
The bet is 6 credits per hand, so I'm in for 300 credits. A Four of a Kind pays 260, so I only need two of them out of 50 hands, to profit on the hand.
What should I have done? I held the 10, 10, 8, 2 .

You hold the pair + "kicker" which in this case is the 8 & 2. You did correct.
DUHHIIIIIIIII HEARD THAT!

After thinking about it, If I held just the 10, 10 I didn't only need two more 10's to get quads. I could have gotten it that way, plus just one more 10, plus another 8, 2 or 7, 3 or 6, 4 or 5, 5.
I definitely didn't think about that at the time. I might have played it differently, which then may have been incorrectly had I thought about that.

I posted a screenshot of the hand analyzer. It's not even close.
You do the same with dealt trips as well. You hold those three (2, 2, 2-10, 10, 10) and any single card below that rank.
Example: 5, 5, 5, 3, 8. You'd hold everything except the 8.

Zcore, this isn't even close and shouldn't be a hard decision. Hopefully your just started to learn this game and haven't thrown a lot of money down the drain. You will encounter tons of hands like 33A2X. You also know in cases like 9996K you would hold the 999 and 6, right?
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.

I've never been a big slot/video poker guy. I've played regular video poker and more recently Ultimate X and Barnyard Poker, but these Super Times Pay, Quick Quads, Spin Poker, Wheel Poker, etc, etc are pretty new for me to be playing.

Don't feel bad Zcore, I have very little quick quad experience... and to admit, I didn't know the proper hold there =(. I would have certainly looked it up had the play come about, or guessed correctly that you essentially hold "trips," but no, I did not know the concrete answer either!
Seems like every time I walk in to a casino I see a new VP variant.

Playing it correctly means you've already won.

Pair and 2 kickers is a pretty strong hand in quick quads. You are supposed to even break two pair if it only pays 5.
So if you had 77334...you'd hold 7734 in TDB.

The hands that drive me absolutely insane are when you get 999A4 and you keep the A and the 5 is dealt. or in TDB you break the 77334 and you end up with the other 3. I love QQ, is there such a game that has QQ and UX all in one? That would be like crack.

Yes, I say this every time. Gonna say it again anyway.
Love love love Quick Quads. What a great game. If you're going to learn one weird, complicated optimum strategy, Zcore, this is the one. I played it twice in the last week. It was so fun. (ten play db) AND I got Aces! Woohoo. Along with many QQ hands. Sometimes I wonder if they offer extra opportunities, there are so many times you get a QQ 4 to a draw (either trips WAK or a pair plus its components) and fill it.
And, yeah, you got it right not knowing for sure; I think that's commendable. Shows an understanding of the concept, so you'll get it learned faster.

If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

As someone who plays a lot of QQs, [weekly in Ac], you would be amazed at the amount of people who are totally clueless when it comes to playing. I have told this story on another board as tringlomane can attest, woman sits next to m playing 100 hand QQs, gets dealt a 100 hand QQ and breaks it up going for 4oak. when I try to enlighten her about how the game is played I was told to STFU and mind my own business.

Sorry for silly question...what is the common denom for Quick Quads (JoB 9/6)? Is it usually like $0.25, $0.50 and $1.00 in the same machine?

I just found a literature from IGT:
It is a multi-denom...$0.05, $0.25, $0.50 and $1.00

That is true but in my area they are only .25, .40, and 1.00. I wish there was nickle 5 line or .10 3 line.

Is holding trips and a kicker correct?
I only played it a few times and never thought of doing that.

Yes. If dealt 88839, you hold 8883 and dump the 9.

Stupid phone. Wait can I blame that on auto correct? I guess it was fat fingers.
Although I don't see any reason why you couldn't set the denom for anything you want. Maybe in want to play a .36 game. I will play .25 but won't play .50 but would play .36

You also hold 2 kickers when dealt a pair, i.e.: 99367, you hold 9936. Granted, they have to add up to the pair's rank.

For 9/6 JoB, not common at all. Ellis Island in Vegas has it as cheap as nickels though all the way up to quarters.
River City in St. Louis has it for dollars only.
After that, I dunno another casino that still has 9/6 JoB w/quick quads.

Rivers Pittsburgh had (don't know if it still does) one single line machine of it for $1.00. 25¢ & 50¢ were 9/5 I believe.

Harrah's Biloxi has 100 line QQ for .01, and Scarlet Pearl has 10 line .05 QQ. I think both places' machines are multi denom.

Last time I played .25 and .50 were 8/6. Never play 1.00 so I didn't look.
