I play a lot of NSU deuces wild. Often times there will be promotions where natural 4 of a kinds pay a bonus. I'd like to know how many credits the bonus would need to be to change the play of holding two pair to only holding a pair when dealt two pair. Assume 5 coin bet. I think I need to come up with a weighted payback based on how many draws would result in natural quads vs. wild quads to come up with a value to enter into the Wizards strategy calculator. At some point I need to sit down and try to work this out but I thought it might be trivial for some on this board.

I believe Wolf Video Poker used to have an option to solve this.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Sadly, I blew my hard drive with Wolf on it the week after Christmas, 2018. I was so mad at myself.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it always correct to throw away the 2nd pair in NSUD?

Depends what the full house pays. I believe you keep two pair if the FH pays 4-1, otherwise discard one pair.

I guess I always played FPDW and did not realize there was that dramatic a difference. Good thing I don't play NSUD.
