variance is worse than ddb! (var = 40)

It's Royal or nothing?
ie: if u don't hit that Royal, you're screwed?

Note:
regular game with Royal=800= 98.1% and variance = 22 (approx. the same as JoB)

found out the hard way that you need straight flush/5oak to keep you afloat.
else your $100 doesn't last long.

I lost it after only $700 coin-in, and that's at .25 denom!

and slighty ahead with a Wild Royal:

I was in for $200.

yeah, HUGE natural Royal progressive for that denom. :o
I've been keeping 2 to a Royal over an inside straight.
ie: TJQA2, holding the Ten+Ace being same suit.


edit:
wow, flush/full house/4oak all have the same hit frequency? about 1 in 50 hands?
i definitely hit more flushes/full houses than 4oaks in my $5000 coin-in stint.

edit2:
why would A23 suited > 2345 rainbow (outside straight) > A34 suited?
isn't A23 and A34 the same?
