Dear Stevie,
Thanks for sharing that. After your original post about Pick 'Em having a
lower variance than FPDW, or "luck factor" as I called it, I experimented with
the game on my tutorial software. What you said about the short run matched my
experience. I had some big wins with Pick 'Em, but some REALLY big losses
too.(Lucky thing it was just for fun!)
Given the fact I have a limited bankroll for video poker, say $200 per
session, I should probably stay clear of Pick 'Em. From what you are saying, maybe I
should go with Jacks or Better? (Ugh, so boring.)
Thanks again for sharing your wisdom!
Best wishes,
Cathy B.
