Playing 10 Play vs Playing Single Line

I would appreciate hearing from players who normally play
10 play. It is a new game for me in a casino enviornment,
though I have been practicing 10 play 10/7DB on WP, for
2-3 hours each evening, for the last 4 weeks.

Up til now, the only multi-hand vp that I've attempted (in
live action) is .25 3 play 9/6JOB, and I've played very little
of that. Normally I play .25 or .50 single line only.

I will be in LV in a couple of days, and will be playing .05
10 play 10/7DB quite a bit. According to the "warn" feature
on WP, I perceive that 10 line is played with exactly the same
strategy as single line. Of course, this makes perfect sense
to me, yet I can't help wondering if some players adjust their
normal strategy when playing multi-line games.

For example, I assume that having 10 hands in which to possibly
convert RF3 to RF5, instead of just 1 hand, would cause some
players to at least consider keeping RF3 (which includes an Ace)
rather than a pair of J/Q/K's. It might seem equally tempting
to keep only RF3 (which includes an Ace) rather than a 4 flush
containing the same RF3. Logically, I understand that the ev of
each hand is the same, no matter how many hands you play
simultaneously. I am just curious as to how most of you
experienced multi-line players react to this (if you do at all)
and whether you ever deviate from the correct stategy to
compensate for the additional hands you are playing.

I have already decided to adher to the same strategy I use
when playing single line DB, but I would welcome any comments
or suggestions based on your personal experiences.

Thanks,

Babe

When playing multi hand, especially if you are playing more total coin
in than when you play single line VP. You want to play absolutely
correct. Any mistake you make is multipliing the error you are
making. I normally play $1 or $2 single line, but on multi line I may
play between $12.50 to $25.00 total per hand since the quantity of
hands seems to smooth out the variance. I have found that it is
harder to win, due to hands like AAAxx if you are playing 10 hand
qtrs, the most you can win in DB is $200 unless you get 2 sets of
Aces, but in single line it is $800 for only a $5 bet instead of
$12.50 bet, but when you get dealt something really good it is
wonderful (I hope it happens to me sometime). I have seen 2 dealt RFs
and one dealt 2222A on Bonus dueces, and none of them were for more
than 5 total hands, what a shame, and they were either .05 or .10

have fun, it can be addictive.
