Not quite correct.
In my second post, I asked for more information.
I said, in part:

As for the original message, there should be more information provided. Otherwise, you will only get generic answers.
Bankroll size and stop loss for one. Just how much money is "your friend" willing to lose to improve his tier score? And why?
Pay tables for the machines and denominations.
Just how many tier points does your friend want, and what is the rate of tier points for coin in.
How much time is going to be available to play, devoted to playing the machine chosen?
Unless, and until that information is presented for analysis, the answers you receive will be generically correct.
But, you seem intent on not providing adequate information for a proper analysis.
And analysing and developing a proper strategy based on "your friends" needs, abilities, and other stuff is just not possible.
You have already received generically correct answers.
Than, you wrote:

come on people. This is not a question about CORRECT STRATEGY. This is a specific question about getting tier points. I think there is a difference. I didnt ask my friend about his bankroll. But I think his interest is trying to milk it for the most tier points he possibly can. Perhaps he is playing only with free-play credits, I dont know.
No one -- especially me -- is going to dispute the correct strategy for playing JOB.
the only question here is how to maximize tier score. My friend pointed out that he is more likely to add to his tier points holding the jack. Grochowski's book confirms that for this particular hand.
Perhaps he had only one hand to play? Perhaps he had $25 of free play and wanted the best shot with it with one hand of VP at $25?
And in Alanleroy's example (good example by the way) if you have $25 of free play that you wanted to convert to cash do you drop the guranteed win with the pair of aces and go for the royal? Heck, all of us would go for the royal, wouldnt we? but if it was your last $25 would you hold the pair and maybe wish youll get two more aces? (Don't laugh, Ive seen it and heard players say out loud thats exactly what they are doing when playing Super Aces bonus. And by the way, even in SAB the correct strategy is to go for the royal.)
Which, to me, seems to contradict what you've previously written. I don't get it. How is correct strategy not directly correlated to earning tier points? Seems to me the longer "your friend" plays, the more coin in he will have, and the more tier points he will earn.
Why do you say:
