There is another, more long and complex strategy game in video poker for the same kinds of "Jacks or Better" (it can be applied in the case if the video poker lowest high card are not considered jacks and tens, you have the option to "dozens and higher"). The house edge when using this strategy a little higher and is approximately 0.46%.

The principle use of the video poker strategy is almost the same: you analyze starting hand, taking into account a list of the best combination and leave in the hand combination that is higher on the list. If your starting hand no one combination from the list - immediately reset it, you can not play the hand in such a situation.

Four of a Kind (four cards of the same rank)

Full house

How to use this strategy for video poker in practice, suppose in your starting hand - four cards spades (three, nine, Diamonds and Spades) and a nine of hearts. Accordingly, in this starting hand two possible combinations: a flush draw (four cards to a flush peak with a chance to get the fifth card spades by replacing dozens of worms) and a pair of low cards (nines). You have a choice - either donate it possible to flush and maintain a guaranteed pair of low cards, or try to make a flush. If you use a strategy for video poker, the choice is obvious - because the flush draw in the above list above, it was his and should play.
