Looking to become a video poker connoisseur?Then you want to get the absolute maximum out of every game play.The first thing you need to know is the best card in the deck is not the ace, assuming there are no wild cards.The best card is the lowest card that will make a winning pair - a jack in the Jacks-or-Better game or a ten in the Tens-or-Better game. The reason is simply that the lower cards have more possible straights they can participate in. And, of course, a pair of aces pays no more than a pair of jacks. Failure to realize this leads to a very common error. Many players guess that if they have an ace-high hand with two other high cards all of different suits, the best play is to save only two of the three cards. However, they incorrectly save the two highest cards. The best play is to save the two lowest cards, as there is a greater chance of drawing a straight. The old saying "Never draw to an inside straight" can also mislead a video poker player. In Deuces Wild, you always draw to an inside straight in preference to drawing five cards. And in Jack-or-Better, there are certain inside straight hands, three or more high cards where drawing to an inside straight is often the best play. Calculations For Video PokerThere are 52 cards in a deck and 2.598.960 possible five-card poker hands.But because neither the order of the cards nor the suite is important in poker... For example, an K - Q - J - 7 - 7 of diamonds is the exact equivalent of K - Q - J - 7 - 7 of spades... The possible unique hands comes down to 134.459.
