I just signed up for your 14 day free trial. I saw you guys today with Cowboys slots, and I want to thank you. This was fun, really a lot of fun and I my first time new to video poker
Your commentary helps. I have been a video poker Gold subscriber x 7 years and a Pro subscriber for less than a year. Your commentary is like a "kicker" and helps me to understand why certain combos are used instead of others.
The hand near the 4:00 mark is not technically an inside straight. The hand is KQJ9 and it can win with both a 10 or an A10 which is a wrap around, and why it would be a better bet than just an inside straight.
Thank you for the 14 day free trial. Learning tons from you guys putting it use and winning too! Much appreciated for all the hard work you put into your videos.
Firstly, I want to tell you I am very fortunate to have found your channel. I decided to try the gold membership trial and I think after 1 hour I have learned so much about my play after 100 draws I had a percentage rate of 87%. I noticed I found I made a lot of silly errors from not reading my play correctly
At 9:31 you kept all 3 unsuited high cards Jh Qc Ks, is that because they are in order? Just wondering because what's the big difference in throwing out the A in unsuited Q,J,A at 9:51. And then at 10:02 it says "you just keep the lower 2" I just want to be clear on that rule😁
That was fun cool game. You are right I am definitely not as good at video poker as I thought I was, I need more practice, I only go to the casino 1 to 2 times a year video poker has always been one of the games I enjoy playing now I think I’m going to use a little more strategy and try to utilize my players card and I may end up going to the casino 2 to 3 times a year. Last time I went I played the Buffalo game within about 30 minutes I hit an $1100 jackpot so I basically quit playing for the rest of the trip I gave my wins a $100 at a time to my wife daughter and my daughters best friend it was the girls 21st birthdays. I find most of the time I hit a nice size jackpot but the machines will take it all back so I switch to video poker right after hitting the jackpot maybe if I can be a better video poker player I can win a little on poker too. Thank you for the good information I just came across your channel about a month ago and really enjoy it.
Are you referring to the fact that if you're dealt Q, J, A unsuited you would just keep the queen and the jack? If so, you only keep those two because it is easier to get a straight.
You can use an iPhone or iPad for videopoker.com/acg But for the Winpoker program, www.americancasinoguidebook.com/video-poker-software.html that will only work on your computer.
Whenever I get an unsuited A Q J with two low cards my training software tells me to hold the A and other times it tells me to hold the QJ and I have no clue as to why.
One question or two about Video Poker, how many decks are in play? And, how often are the decks "shuffled"? Thanks in advance and thanks for your videos, they are great!
When playing multi-hand games there is one deck for each hand you play. So, if you are on 10-play you are playing with 10 different decks. You are dealt your initial hand from one deck and whatever you choose to keep that is then held in all 10 hands. An exception to this is spin poker. You can play up to 9 lines on the screen, but they are all from the same deck.
@@TheJackpotGents thank you. And, if there is one deck is it shuffled every time after a game is played once? In other words, can you calculate your odds knowing that the cards that have been dealt will not appear again until the deck is finished?
Hey guys I was practicing and I came across an interesting hand which I wasn't sure what to do but I had: 2 to a Royal Flush but I also had 4 to a Flush and a Pair of Queens what should I have kept?
It is my understanding that in a 5 card hand if 3 of the cards are of the same suit, you can choose them - even if the numbers are not in order. But only if you do not have a high card(s) to choose. Example: 9/hearts Q/hearts J/spades 8/hearts A/clubs. Normally I would choose the J/spades and A/clubs ( 2 high cards). However the poker video games are telling me to choose the 3 hearts - 9/Q/8. And to add to my confusion sometimes the free video game lets me choose the high card. Can someone please clarify the rule for this please.
The strategy can change depending on the game, the composition of the five cards you are dealt and the pay table on the machine. So, there is no hard and fast rule to be used for all video poker games. For some guidance, we have FREE video poker strategy charts on our website that you can print out and take with you to the casino - www.americancasinoguidebook.com/video-poker/free-video-poker-strategy-charts.html
The reason you don't keep the ace is because it corners you into only getting a straight with a k and 10. If you keep jist JQ you can fill it in with 2 cards in either direction
You might also want to consider buying WinPoker rather than paying a monthly membership for. Learn more about these two options, on our other website, here - www.americancasinoguidebook.com/video-poker-software.html
Please make a video about Legal Action that makes it Illegal for Casinos to disallow Card Counting on Blackjack. To rephrase, make a video on organizations that are trying to make Casinos required to allow Card Counters on Blackjack. After all, they are not breaking the law.
@@jetrep I believe it's just a matter of time before the Courts Rule that says they must allow Card Counters to play with the same Casino Policies as non Card Counters. Its "Unfair Business Practice " for Card Counters.
@@jetrep The Casinos would lose too much money if the removed the Blackjack Game. Very few people can effectively card count and their earnings are not that much.
In NJ, the state supreme court held that it is illegal for a casino (as a place of public accommodation) to kick out card counters solely based on their betting. (Uston v. Resorts.) Casinos can still flatbet whoever they want which essentially has the same effect.
Bad advice. The key rule is keep all wining cards, and hope for an improvement in your hand. Say you are dealt a pair, and a face card. No win there. What to keep, and why? If you keep the face there are 3 cards to win, and 4 shots to hit one. If you keep the pair you have 2 cards to hit, and 3 shots to hit one. That's an example of keeping what gets you closest to a win. Say you have almost a royal flush A K Q,J of hearts, and J spade. There's one card to win out of 47, and one shot to get it. If you keep the pair of jacks you have a win, and could improve it by getting 3 or 4 of a kind, full house or 2 pair. You have 3 shots to get that. Back to keeping a face card when that's all you got. To win you get 3 cards to shoot at, and 4 shots to get it. That's your best chance to win but you also have all the rest of the hands you could win. If you keep the pair you can't get any flushes, straights, 4 of a kind for any denomination other than for the pair you keep. You can't get 2 pair for any other denomination of pair except a set that includes your dealt pair. Stay in the winning column. Even If you have the almost a royal flush but no pair of jacks or better throw away all but 1 face. If you have a choice of faces to pick from when the deal in't a win you should keep the jack. If you keep the ace you can only get an ace high straight. Keeping the jack you could get an ace high straight, king high straight, queen high straight, and jack high straight, Simple arithmetic. You place your bet to get up to 10 shots at at getting one of their winning hands. Keeping any non winning cards costs you shots at getting winners. You don't get a win on the first deal you want to claw out anything you can to stay in at minimum cost until you get a sweet deal on the first deal The easiest win to get is jacks or better. It is incredible that all these youtube "experts" keep pairs, or 2 of anything except a face pair. Worse they throw away face card to keep pairs. If most players play like you it's you these casinos are built on. that said you got some funny ideas about how video poker calculates wins. It is not hand dealt random cards. It is a computer programmed to give whatever wins at a a programmed rate 99 or 85 percent, random tempo, and random amount to keep the win loss ratio at the programmed percentage. What it deals, what you hold, what your skill is means nothing to the computer. Play my way with a real hand held deck, and make your bets 2 percent of your bank. You will be in the quintillions in hours. Play my way on video poker, and it becomes real clear real quick it ain't dealing natural random cards.
We'd rather go with the math that tells you the best way to play your hands. And, you can only do that by practicing with video poker software that trains you how to play your hands correctly. See more on this page: www.americancasinoguidebook.com/video-poker-software.html
@@TheJackpotGents That tells a lot about you. You did not write one word in mathematical dispute of what I wrote. Either you are so bad at simple arithmetic you don't recognize the truth of of what I wrote. Which doesn't inspire confidence in your "math". Not enough to bother following your link. Or you do know I'm right, and you're wrong, and can't admit you're wrong. Either way it stems from an infantile narcissistic refusal to tolerate being wrong. As a child you hated being wrong on a simple addition problem so you hated the whole subject. We fail in order to learn. But since you reject the fact that you're wrong you didn't learn math, or even simple arithmetic. I, on the other hand, was a college major in technology,and applied mathematics. I worked in the aerospace, and science industry making some of the grandest projects in the world for the last 30 years. But you play the way you want but you should be ashamed to be misleading people like that.
@@dpsamu2000 your entire post is based on bad math. Your argument only works if all winning hands pay the same amount. You are leaving out the fact that 2 pairs and 3 of a kind pay more than jacks or better
@@TheJackpotGents You're still wrong. catching the face makes it a winner, and it still has the same 3 shots to get the 2 cards to make the 3 of a kind as the low pair has. if it doesn't catch the face it can still catch the 2 pairs, 3 of a kind, and the 4 of a kind for all the other denominations, which the low pair can't do. it can also catch all the straights, and flushes. The low pair can't catch any. The only thing it has in common with the low pair is it can't get a full house that doesn't include the cards kept. Almost everything else can be won by keeping the face. Almost nothing can be won keeping the low pair. You're still failing arithmetic, and can't admit you're wrong, and since most of this was mentioned directly or implied in previous posts you fail reading comprehension too. . .

There are apps that tell you what hands to hold. I use them sometimes in casinos.
I don’t see jacks or better in the website off.
Credits to cash is sometimes misleading. What a program including all the spin off games of video poker. Tnx for showing.
What is the reason not to keep an ace when dealt 3 non suited jacks or better cards?
Its easier to fill in a straight without it and having 3 redrawn gives you more chances to fill in winning hands
does the strategy change when playing only 3-5-10 play, or even one hand?
The strategy remains the same whether it is one hand or multiple hands.
Hey guys I was practicing and I came across an interesting hand which I wasn't sure what to do but I had: 2 to a Royal Flush but I also had 4 to a Flush and a Pair of Queens what should I have kept?
The queens. You rarely throw away a winning hand

The reason you don't keep the ace is because it corners you into only getting a straight with a k and 10. If you keep jist JQ you can fill it in with 2 cards in either direction
Video poker is a balancing act of keeping the best possible cards but also leaving enough room to improve as well
Dawg the casino by me is a 6/5 pay why is that not an option?
Winning so much money since I started following you guys .. fuck the irs 🤣🤣🤣

why keep King and Jack and not Ace?
It is easier to get a straight when you play it that way.
Why don't you keep A-10 suited? It is 2 to a Royal.
Basic strategy says to never keep ace 10 suited. It's too hard to fill in a straight.

Why play jacks or better , what if you get 4/aces?
Around the 11 minute mark you keep Jack and queen but not the ace. You had a discussion about it but didnt explain why you shouldn't keep the ace.
In jacks or better you would only hold the jack and queen as it makes it easier to draw a straight.
Almost the same thing but free at Wizard of odds.
