NSUD and Full Pay Dueces Wild

I remember someone recently posting a few changes to make from FP
Dueces Wild to optimize playing less than full pay NSUD. Could
someone post what changes should be made from 15/9/5 FP Dueces to
NSUD? Thnaks for any help.

You can get 95% there by doing the following (if you're playing NSUD
rather than FPDW), and also the reasons why:

1. Keep two pair rather than drawing to one pair (FH is 4 instead of
3)
2. Break single pair to draw to fourflush (FL is 3 instead of 2)
3. Keep all 3RF one-deuce, including A-high (possibility of flush
makes the draw more valuable than in FPDW)
4. Relax SF rules to include "one-gappers": 3SF one-deuce draws now
include 256, 268, 2810, etc. Similarly 2256, 2268, 22810, etc.
5. Break pat straights, 3 of a kind to draw to 3SF, one gap, one
deuce (27810 hearts, J clubs; 27 hearts, 7810 clubs)
(Rules 4 and 5 reflect the increased value of the FL and SF)
6. Keep all five of a kinds (the four of a kind is worth less on
NSUD, making the loss greater if you wind up with quads)

There's a lot of arcane stuff regarding some draws on the low side
(like 345 suited with one deuce), and penalty card considerations,
but this gets you a good, working transition.

If you want to really have your eyes glaze over, then search some of
Bob Dancer's LVRJ article archives.
