Perhaps this is a very old game, but I just saw it for the first time recently. It looked interesting, so I thought I’d analyze it. I was playing $5 NSU Deuces at Harrah’s Cherokee and had just hit four deuces for a $5,000 jackpot. Always nice, but it’s a once-every-5,356-hands event on average, so […]

A Fuller Explanation
Richard Munchkin and I regularly get “how do you do it” questions which we periodically answer on our podcast. Sometimes I have to give a briefer answer than I want on the air because a more complete answer requires that people see things written down. Plus, my blog is read primarily by players who understand […]
Comparing Software on Difficult Hands — P...
Today we’re continuing last week’s discussion of comparing video poker software. If you’re planning on playing Quick Quads or Ultimate X, the Pro Training software is the way to go.

You’re playing Double Double Bonus, receiving 45 for a full house. How much you get for the flush is irrelevant to this discussion. If […]
Do You Have What it Takes?
Bonnie and I recently cruised the Mexican Riviera on NCL, courtesy of Penn National — in particular M Resort. We’ve vacationed several times on the same cruise line courtesy of Harrah’s/Caesars, but this time it was from somewhere else. I packed a lot of M logo shirts — of which I have dozens. Perhaps two […]
You Have to Work it Out Yourself
I get dozens of video poker emails a month from people I’ve never met. Often the emails are similar to the following: “I play Double Double Bonus. From a hand like KK773, I hold the kings and a friend tells me to hold two pair. Which is right?” I typically answer that it’s correct to […]
Life as a Master
The title of this article is somewhat tongue in cheek. A few years ago, someone called me a master because of something I’ll explain shortly. It occurred to me that many players don’t understand the day-to-day activities of a successful professional player — whether that player deserves to be called a master or not. Striving […]
