Video Poker Strategy
how to play video poker faq's video poker terms video poker strategy
The aim of video poker is to get the best hand that you possibly can. Remember, you're not playing against a dealer or any other players, just yourself. When you play like this, any win, no matter how small, is a good win.
You need to understand the different combinations of cards that will pay, and which are better to keep. To see this, please check out the FAQ section. When you are dealed your cards, decide which ones to keep, and which cars to discard. If you have a pair of Jacks, keep them, and discard the other 3 cards. This will give you the greatest chance of getting another Jack, or if you are really lucky, another 2 Jacks. This works with every different combination that you can have. Make sure you check what cards you have in your hand, and what you might be able to make out of your hand if you discard different cards. This will take a little bit of time at the start, but once you get used to the game, you'll get quicker all the time.
Most video poker games pay on hands that have a pair of Jacks or better. This means that as soon as you have a pair of Jacks, or higher, you're guaranteed a win. Of course, if you also have a King, Queen, Ace and 2 Jacks, you might decide to discard one of the jacks and risk it trying for a straight. If you get the straight it will pay a lot more money, but if you don't get it, you may be left with nothing.
There's always times when you get your hand and you have nothing at all that looks worth keeping. That's fine. The best thing to do is to discard all of your cards, and take your chances on the next 5 that you get.You could get another 5 bad cards, but you could always get a winning hand.
It will take a while to get to understand the way that the game is played, but once you see how much fun video poker can be, you'll want to keep on playing.
