play differences: fpdw vs. nsud?

#1

Here are a few good rules. (This does not cover everything.)

No deuces - K high two cards royals are playable (Only with no penalties in
FPDW), Generally true in games where the flush is 3 for 1.
                         With two pair hold both. True in any non bonus
deuce game where the FH pays 4 for 1

One deuce - All three card royals are playable. (VPSM misses the A high two
penalty card version.) Play three card SF with 0 or 1 gap (only no gap at
FPDW).
                         3SF with no gap is better than an ace high 3 card
wild royal.
                         4 open straight with one deuce better than stiff
deuce. This is only correct about 85% of the time depending what the three
touching cards are and the fifth card.
                         (I was not aware of this until a friend of Ednar
showed it to me.)

Two deuces - 4SF is played with 0 or 1 gap.

Three deuces - All five of a kinds are kept. (FPDW keep only tens or
higher.)

Since I do not live in Nevada I rarely get to play FPDW. I play NSU more
than any other game and am trying to learn the Multi-Strike adjustments as
that just became available with NSU in my area.

Are certain hands played differently? If so, are there certain rules
which are easy to follow? Thanks and good fortune to all. Bill

Howard, although you indicated the list was not complete I think
there's one important one you missed. When holding a pair vs. 4 to a
flush, always hold 4 to a flush. True when flush pays 3-1.
