6/9 JOB progressive

When the last $1-7/10 DB disappeared from the Eldorado a couple years back, I thought it was time to find another home. Well, thinks I, 6/9 JOB is nearly break even and with the smaller variance, maybe it was worth a try, especially with the progressive meter.

I had originally learned JOB in the early years when most 'good' play was 5/8. I think the first strategy I learned was from Stanford Wong. And that was the strategy I have used these past few years. That is until last weekend when I bothered to bring my Dancer Win Card. Well, jeez, there are a lot of differences. Seems that the SF keeps are a lot more numerous.

It hasn't been a problem though. I've been on LUCKY with more than my share of RF's, one at over $6000.

I've worked the numbers on this game as follows:

EV at 4000......................0.9954

EV = 1.0........................4880 JackPot

EV = 7/10 DB....................5186

Strategy Changes

With A,10 suited, Keep both at 4280
Keep J,10 suited over J,Q unsuited at 4099
At 4298, Q,10s over K hi

I've got the rest of them including all the 3-card RF draws over Hi Pr. Contact me direct if you want them. I'll also include my mailing in case you might want to compensate me for the 3 or 4 hours I've put into this.

The real question here is...
What does Eldo GIVE you for your play? Free rooms whenever you want them? How much free play/cash back? Decent comps?
I'll be honest, out of the three in the triplex, I'd choose Eldo...

Oops. I ran (J,10)s without looking at the obvious. Against (J,Q) the two hooks would be the correct keep. At least I caught it before catching any flame.
