JoB vs Bonus Poker

#1

Not confused at all, and I completely agree with you.

However, some say the "fun factor" is higher playing BP. For those folks, if
the extra fun is worth giving up almost .4% in ER, go for it--it's your
money!

The play is not exactly "identical," but playing JOB strategy at BP only
costs about .01% in ER.

I was wondering why anyone would play 8/5 Bonus Poker instead of
9/6 Jack or Better if both (full pay) versions are available in the
same casino. Is not the play identical for both games and the only
difference is the EV of 99.166 for BP and 99.544 for JoB? Am I
confused about something?

Outside of using it as a cure for insomnia I don't understand why
anyone would play JOB. Besides Pickem JOB has to be the most god
awful boring VP game ever invented.
I'll give up the .4% in ER in return for being able to stay awake...8-

The strategies seem pretty similar. Does anyone know some common differences?
Such as having an ace and another high card? It seems on winpoker you hold both
most every time, like in Job.
