D.B. Hand

#1

The 4c is a penalty to the straight.
Plus, you've got "0hi" in there, the Jack would make it "1hi".

The "0 Hi" applies to the 3sf, not to the dealt 5 cards.

I HOPE to heck I'm correct or else "everything I know is wrong".

The Jack does NOT make this hand 1 hi, RIGHT?

RF 1(J)---> SF 3 di O hi if straight interference for the SF
Except: if the SF interference is suited with the J, keep the SF.
Except: if SF is 6-hi, keep J with any interferen at all.

Thank you. The report you cited was written by me in 1996, when I was
still a relative newcomer to video poker. The Winner's Guide series,
published several years later and with Liam W. Daily as a co-author (who
IMO is very worthy of inclusion in the vpFREE Hall of Fame) is highly
improved. The strategy is the same, but the presentation and the user
friendliness definitely improved between the two series.

But 10/7 is tough. Shirley has been known to tell people that she
sometimes reads the Double Bonus Winner's Guide when she has trouble
getting to sleep! This is not a game the casual player has a chance to
master, but it was a major game on my personal road to success and is
still a key part of my arsenal. The nice part about mastering it is that
it is likely to remain available for several years. Although it pays
over 100%, player-error accounts for enough so that it's a money maker
for the casinos.

I play 10/7 DB and KBJP exclusively. I enjoy the Joker poker at lot,
but 10/7 DB is my best game and I play it most often. I'll always
remember the first hand of vp I ever played. It was in Atlantic City
on my first trip to a casino. I knew so little that when I was dealt
the full house, I didn't even know to press the buttons to hold the
cards, and threw it away. Much later, after a few years of playing
slots, I became interested and starting playing vp on my trips to Las
Vegas. When I hit the four Aces with the kicker on DDB at Sunset
Station I decided to learn more about it. I think it was an article in
a magazine by Bob Dancer that suggested Video Poker Tudor. I went to
the Gambler's Bookshop to buy a copy but was encouraged to buy
Winpoker instead. It was new and better, I was told. From that point,
it took four years of study, practice(about a million hands)and a
couple of Bob's classes, for me to gain mastery of the game. It is a
tough game, but I believe, the most satisfying to play for those who
enjoy a challenge. I'll always be appreciative of Bob's sharing his
knowledge for I've gained an enjoyable pastime(and a few nice Royals
along the way!). If you take up DB, be prepared for a long journey of
discovery. It is worth the effort to learn because understanding DB
leads casts light on all the other bonus games as well.
