Also, by holding a 5 - T with the Joker, you are drawing to five different
straights and five different straight flushes. In other words, fully open
ended draws. If SFs paid more at this game, I would guess the Joker plus the Ac
and 3c would be the correct hold, as it is in two pair Joker Poker (one Joker,
99.92%), where SFs pay 250 coins for a five coin bet. But with SFs only
paying 125 coins, the Joker + midcard is the best play.
This game is included in WinPoker, version 6.0.5. The default is 8/5, but it
only takes a few seconds to change it to 9/5 so you can practice the version
you want to learn.

I would like to learn this game, but can't seem to configure the VPW
demo version to handle a 2-joker deck. I know that Paymar has
strategy cards available for it, but I learn a lot better through
software. I received a 25x multiplier for October 28 and outside of
9/6 JOB there really isn't much worth playing there. So I guess my
question is, does the full version of VPW allow this game to be
created or is there any other software trainer available for learning
optimal strategy?Fooling around with VideoPokerHunt, they have 8/5 Double Joker poker
and I was dealt 5d, Qh, joker, 3c, Ac. Thought the best hold was the
Joker only, but VPH suggests holding 5d + joker as (ever so) slightly
stronger. Anyone want to clue me in as to what I am missing? I don't
want to lose that penny if I don't have to.Stu in NJ
The non-mathematical way I look at it is that by holding one card with
the joker, you're "live" to hit 5 of a kind with 3 cards to go,
whereas, if you don't, there are 12 cards that can be your first card
drawn that you won't be so.
