I think the only practical way to get good at JW2 is to prepare a chart in the format that suits your personal learning style. Then develop mnemonics to memorize the complex rankings of hands with the joker and without the joker. Then practice quite a bit using one of the software packages, or the practice application on the Wizard of Odds' site. Going through this whole process will aid learning, better than picking up someone else's prepackaged strategy chart. That's what I did, and I had quite a good time with the game for a while, though I'd need to spend a lot of time brushing up on it by now.
JW2 is a very good game in a handful of locations. If you can play close to optimally, and have the opportunity to receive good comps and offers, you might have something worthwhile. I think that the game survives BECAUSE it is so difficult to play well. Casino managers know that they can assign it a decent theo, and the vast majority of players will be big losers on the game.
Discussion on this forum of the taxation of winnings long ago became tiresome, frankly. I no longer wish to get drawn into threads on the subject. The same old misconceptions continue to abound. The subject IS a bit complex. If someone has a good summary of federal and state laws pertaining to taxation of video poker profits and receipts, perhaps everyone could just point to the location of that summary when the subject comes up.
