Need a new game

#1

My wife and I live on the East Coast and make monthly trips to AC and
four or five trips to Vegas each year. I am predominantley a blackjack
and poker player while my wife plays VP. She has been playing JoB
exclusively for two years, but needs another game, or two, in her
asenal as a lot of times the places that can handle my blackjack
action are JoB wastelands.

What I am looking for is a general recommendation of what game(s) she
should learn next. We are obviously looking to maximize EV, but
actually having a game to play is important as well. Hardly any of the
places we frequent have full pay deuces wild. She has been a very
diligent JoB learner and is used to using WinPoker and strategy cards
to aid her play so strategy complexity is not a primary concern.

Thanks in advance for any replies!

If she has mastered JOB she has also pretty much learned 8/5 Bonus
Poker(which often comes with progressives) and Aces and Faces.
Pick 'em is easy to learn (as somebody --- maybe Skip --- once
noted: almost all the card choices are either obvious or irrelevant).

I'll throw out the first opinion: I would have her learn DB and NSUD.
These games are more commonly found in your corporate owned casino, and
with her mastery of JoB she will be well prepared. DB is difficult and
complicated to play accurately, but it is generally available, if not
in the full pay 10/7 version, then in the short-but-not-horrible 9/7
version. Warn her about the increased volatility. It's easy to get
discouraged if you're used to playing JoB.
