One of my big MS issues is with deuces where the full house pays 4. I
tend to hold only one pair at the lower levels but keep both at the 4X
or 8X. Has anyone worked this out? I want to play by mathematics
versus intuition. Thanks!
MULTISTRIKE-HELP!!!
You should only hold the two pair over one pair at the top line (or free ride).

Skip's answered the pair/2 pair question but, taking you at your word
on the "mathematics versus intuition" bit, I want to offer up the
following input ...
If you're serious, you need to arm yourself with the appropriate
software tools and knowledge to properly analyze strategy so that
you've got the play cold for all holds -- by, as you suggest, the math
and not gut feel.
You need a practice tool such as WinPoker or Frugal VP. You also need
strategy software that will prepare an appropriate strategy for a
given paytable such as VP Strategy Master or, again, Frugal VP.
The first place to look for knowledge in how to become versed in
MultiStrike strategy analysis is Bob Dancer's article on the subject:
