for decades, I've used 9/6 JoB strat for BP because that's what I read.
but I just found out there are differences!

how much return am I giving up for using 9/6 JoB strat for 8/5 BP?
edit: answer is 0.01%

JoB strategy is different from JoB strategy depending on what paytable you are playing.

Take the time and let us know what the differences are. When you are don't doing that you will never have to worry about it again since you will have learned the 8/5 bonus strategy.Quote: 100xOddsfor decades, I've used 9/6 JoB strat for BP because that's what I read.

I bring a strategy paper with me when I play vp.Quote: AxelWolfTake the time and let us know what the differences are. When you are don't doing that you will never have to worry about it again since you will have learned the 8/5 bonus strategy.
there's only so much room on that piece of paper.
one side:
9/6 JoB that I use for all JoB and BP.
9/6 ddb that I use for all ddb and 9/6 (or worse) db.
other side:
9/7 tdb that I also use for 9/7 and 10/7 db.
nsud (99.7%) that I use for all 1-2-3-4-4 dw (ie: 98.9%, 97.6%)
luckily, none of the casinos I go to have 1-2-2-3-5 dw.
(edit: You can use Bob Dancer's 4 tips for using 1-2-3-4-4 strategy on 1-2-2-3-5 dw:
https://www.888casino.com/blog/deuces-wild-video-poker-games-are-not-all-played-the-same)
now that I think about it, what % am I giving up for using these strategies?
how do I figure it out?
edit2:
Thx Wiz

edit3:
using nsud strat on other 1-2-3-4-4 dw variants (ie: 98.9% and 97.6%) is .05% penalty at most.

Perhaps use a second sheet of paper.
The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened

Condense the strategy chart way down. You don't need to have all the obvious holds on there.Quote: 100xOddshm.. multiple one-fourth the size of pieces of paper?

Do you have a VP program?
IIRC there are programs that will answer your question.
