$7228 Royal
$1112 4 Deuces
$150 Wild Royal

No expert here. At those payouts I think if dealt a suited10, J, Q, K, Joker, …. you would discard the Joker! (Not including tax consequences).

I think if I saw a joker in a Deuces Wild game, I would discard my bottle!

Back to my original question. Am I making a mistake? This is a +EV schedule right? I was surprised that I didn't see anyone playing it. This joint also had other plus EV Deuces Wild games, but nobody was on them. Maybe the comp value just isn't good there?

That paytable is still negative with those amounts. 99.67%

Thanks! I recalculated the math after your post. I don't know how I got it wrong the first time but I thought it was way more positive that it was.

Why, yes, you would. There is a 1/47 chance of winning the $7228, for an ER of 153.79, and that doesn't include what you would win if you make a straight or a flush (or get the suited 9 for a straight flush, or get another deuce for a Wild Royal).

Do you take possible tax implications into account?
