DDB and Bonus Deuces -- not easy to understand strategy

#1

Here's a couple of cases that gives me a hard time understanding. Can
someone make it clear for me? Thanks!

Case 1:
In DDB where the cards are AAA33, the suggested strategy is to hold
only the AAA. (AAA33 pays 45, AAAA3 pays 2,000)
In Bonus Deuces Wild where the cards are 222AA, the suggested strategy
is to hold all cards 222AA (pays 20 only, 2222A pays 2,000). Can
someone explain why?

Case 2:
In DDB where the cards are AAA3K, the suggested strategy is to hold
only the AAA. (AAAA3 pays 2,000)
In Bonus Deuces Wild where the cards are 222A7, the suggested strategy
is to hold 222A. (2222A pays 2,000)
Why the big difference in hold strategy?

I believe you are mistaking 222AA in both cases:

222AA is a five-of-a-kind Aces in BDW and pays 400 coins, not 20 (four-of-a-kind).

Thanks Devin!
That was a mistake on my part. I didn't mean the 5-of-a-kind cards
in Case 1. I believe I have the correct example in Case 2 so if you
know why the kicker in Bonus Deuces Wild is a recommended Hold and
the kicker in DDB is not (both going for 2,000 credits), can you tell
us why?

I believe you are mistaking 222AA in both cases:

222AA is a five-of-a-kind Aces in BDW and pays 400 coins, not 20
(four-of-a-kind).

In bonus Deuces Wild 222AA is 5 Aces which pays 400 coins - this is you hold 222A and get the 2 you get 2000 coins, if you get the A you get 400 coins, if you get a suited K,Q,J,T you get 125 coins, if you get a suited 3,4,5 you get 45 coins, if you do not improve the hand you still get 20 coins

Thanks a lot for your help! Problem solved on the non-progressive
Bonus Deuces Wild.

How about on a Progressive machine where 4 Deuces is up to say
$2,000 or more? (where 2222A is also progressive but, still only up
to around the base $3,000)
Do you still hold the kicker "A"? When do you not hold the kicker
in this situation? ($1,5000 or $2,000 or $2,500)

Thanks again in advance.
