Strategy
Now, you want to work your wait to having your “best” hand possible. Don’t jump off on risks; if you are guaranteed a win with a low payout don’t try to win a larger payout when you are in a long shot. When you see your hand, take your time to look over all of your options to make sure you don’t overlook any options. Though the video poker software will hold what it thinks are the best card for you to hold, these are not always right, especially if your making money on the double up. If you have a pair of kings but also have ace, king, queen and 10 of hearts the auto hold will go for the pair.
