Lenny Fromme's FPDW DW-01 Strategy Question

#1

It means that two pair is played as one pair (Which one do you feel lucky
with?) I suspect he borrowed "Bar" from the "wrong" bet at craps where the
layout says Bar 6 6 to mean that 6 6 is not a win but a push for the
"wrong" bettor.

On all normal deuce games that pay only three for one on a full house (And
early levels of Multi-Strike) it is best to break up two pair.
On bonus deuce and double bonus deuce games aces are the first choice to
keep followed by 3s, 4s or 5s.

In his book "Winning Strategies for Video Poker" page 93, for '0'
deuces this appears:

*Pair.(Bar 2-PR)...........0.6

I can't find an explanation for the '*'.

Does this mean 'hold 2-pair' or don't 'hold 2-pair'??

If you don't hold 2-pair does it matter which pair you keep?

Thanks, REB

My wife and I play both loose dueces and Bonus Dueces, so we always
keep the lowest pair from any two pair dealt, that way we alway keep
the correct pair at bonus, and it is just a guessing game at loose
dueces.

Hi. Maybe I am misreading your message, but don't you always keep both
pairs in Bonus Deuces? I don't play Bonus Deuces, so I just ran a few
hands thru the Winpoker hand analyzer, and couldn't get it to recommend
holding only a singe pair. Thanks Dick Mck.

I double checked and I believe it is that we play a version where a
full house is only 3 not 4, so you only hold a single pair.
otherwise you are correct if a FH pays 4 then you hold both pair.

thanks for being on top of things
