Bonus Poker Strategy/ STP adjustments also

I am planning on visiting a casino that offers Bonus Poker as one of
its best games, and when looking up my strategy charts I noticed I had
lost the Bonus one. The VPSM listing in the database does not have
Bonus listed, link here http://members.cox.net/vpfree/ST.htm for the
VPSM type which I prefer. I remember a discussion of this strategy but
would like to refresh my notes... and also what adjustments would be
made for the STP machines?

9/6 Jacks strategy does very well for 8/5 Bonus. I don't recall the
specific changes from 9/6 Jacks that are required for near-perfect 8/5
Bonus play (there are only a couple I believe). However, use of Jacks
strategy gets you to an ER of 99.158% vs. perfect strategy BP of
99.166% (a difference of .008%).

The altered bet/payouts of STP don't call for any change in BP
strategy, nor for any other game.
