Bob Dancer's LVA - 17 JUN 2014

#1

I am wondering if the numbers change for Spin Poker. It seems like you don’t turn trips into quads nearly as often as on straight line games, but that may just be a wrong perception.

You are correct. It’s a wrong perception. Remember on spin poker when you convert trips you will always get more than 1 quad, so you don’t convert as often but convert more when you do. In spin poker you have 15 spots where you can buy your 4th part of a quad. On 2 of these you will get 2 quads, on 12 you will get 3 quads, and on 1 you will get 5 quads, for an average of 3 quads.

The only thing that changes with spin poker is the volatility.

A.P.

What also changes on Spin Poker is the “heartbreak factor.” Sometimes you hold a pair of aces and draw a total of nine cards. You both both other aces, but not in a way where they can work together and give you one or more quads. for people who love to groan about how close they were and how bad their luck is, Spin Poker gives you extra opportunities to do both.

Great explanation, A.P.

Plus as Bob says, there are just so many opportunities to “groan.” We definitely have a love/hate relationship with Spin Poker. It competes with Multi-Strike in that category!!!

Spin Poker offers a rare opportunity in certain games when you can adjust the short-term volatility to your personal preference. Assume you are playing 9/7 TDB and are dealt 3 aces with two kickers. The two kickers may not be equal in the short-run if one is in the center middle and the other in another row. Which to choose? Hold the center middle kicker if you draw the 4th ace and want a “guaranteed” 3 Aces w/ K three times. Feeling risky? Choose the other kicker NOT in the center. If you draw the 4th ace you’ll get the big jackpot only two ways 2/3rds of the time, but FIVE ways the other third when the ace lands in the dead center. Doesn’tatter in the long run, but it can in the short. Make your choice accordingly. Can also apply in SDDB in a similar kicker placement situation.
