There is a game I've seen in a few places called Triple Triple Bonus. TTB is just like TDB except four 2s-4s with an A becomes 800 for 1 while four 2s-4s with a 2-4 stays 400 for 1. In compensation the flush and straight go from 7/4 to 6/3. The return is listed as a nice 99.75% on vpfree.

Is there anywhere that has or anyone that knows the full strategy to the full pay version of this game (800-50-800-800-400-160-80-50-9-6-3-2-1-1)? I have OpVP but I can't create a new type of hand, and also the WOO's strategy calculator doesn't have this game.

Certainly Video Poker for Winners can handle this pay schedule. Any 4-of-a-kind with any subset of kickers can be given its own strategy line. Although it may not be for sale anymore, I'm pretty sure Wolf Video Poker can handle it as well.

VPW is Windows based, so it requires a PC or a PC-emulator on a Mac. But it works.

WinPoker, including the version that works on iPhones, can handle this kind of kicker situation as well. WinPoker doesn't create its own strategy, but you can use it to create your own manually.

Hi NathanV, good to see you are back, I thought we might have lost you after you took your videos down. Those were impressive, btw.

You mention TTB, and let me say something about that, if it has nothing to do with what you're looking at then just IGNORE me. That's ok, I'm used to being ignored.

About two weeks ago, I was looking at this game, just by coincidence, and I had never seen nor heard of it before. Without mentioning the casino, (which is easy enough to find, I suppose), I looked at these "TTB" games in standard for dollars, progressive for dollars, and progressive for quarters, on the casino's Facebook page. These are not IGT machines, I think they are the Williams video poker games, with 275 for Straight Flush, and the returns for FH and Flush were 8-6 on dollar standards, and 8-5 on the others, not 9-6.

Anyway, like I said, if this has nothing to do with your post, just ignore it. Thanks, and good luck to you.

Ok, Nathan, I just made the new paytable with VPW and it was easy enough. Very easy, in fact, to add the 14th category. And the game penciled in at 99.75 and change, with a variance of ONLY 137. Have fun with THAT.

I highly recommend getting VPW. As serious about video poker as you apparently are, you should get VPW yesterday. I also had Wolf, RIP, and I love the high speed simulations you could do on it, but I guess it's a moot point now. It was much faster than WinPoker, and VPW doesn't really have high speed sim when compared to the speed of the others, but altogether VPW is great software. A must-have.
