You can use a tool such as VP Strategy Master, along with the 6/4/2
increment method detailed in Bob Dancer's article on the subject
(see http://tinyurl.com/6nbp), to formulate the proper strategy for
each level of a game.

It occurs to me that there is an exception to the 6/4/2 rule. That would be
in any Deuces version when dealt two or more Deuces. No strategy changes are
called for in that circumstance, as you will ALWAYS end up with at least trips,
and so are guaranteed to advance to the next level.

Brian,

You're absolutely right. And what you'll find is that if you generate
a strategy using the 6/4/2 rule, the outcome of holding 2,3,or 4
deuces will be identical to basic strategy. The resulting EV's of
each hold will simply be increased by the 6/4/2 value (as indicated by
Level analyzed). Every potential outcome will be a winner and
therefore increased by the increment, and the average outcome will be
incremented by that constant as well.

So for expediency's sake, you'd simply run the 6/4/2 strategy
including all cases of dealt deuces and go with it.
