This is a repeat of a column from more than 10 years ago. Today, the games are different. I play at different places. I’ve even changed my wife! (Not on purpose. Fortunately, I’ve ended up in a good place with Bonnie. Shirley has moved back to Las Vegas after a time in California. She started […]

Learning Advanced Bonus Poker Deluxe
This is a lightly re-done version of a 10-year-old article. The principles still hold and even if you saw it way back when, we all need refreshers from time to time.

An Interesting Choice Between Straight Flush Dr...
Author’s Note: About 30 years ago, Bradley Davis published Mastering Joker Wild Video Poker. It was one of the standards when I started to study the game in 1993, so I bought it and read it. A few years later, I met Davis in Atlantic City at a symposium where several gambling authors gave presentations […]

The math to calculate these things is fairly easy, once explained. By “best game,” I usually mean the one that pays the most. Later on, we’ll consider some other factors that […]

I’ve received a number of inquiries asking things such as: Was I said lucky player? (no) Was it a play with a positive expectation? (yes) and, If […]

At www.gamblingwithanedge.com , in the comments section for a recent blog post of mine, a poker player said he had two stop limits–one for being ahead and on for being behind. (It’s possible he uses the same amount for each. He didn’t say.) He wanted to know if winning video poker players use this system […]

Reprinting this article is […]
