Karen, it's slightly less scary when you use 17 instead of 15. For
50c Loose Deuces (1,2,2,3,4,10,17,25,500,800), 0.33% cashback,
playing 20 hours at 400 hands/hour with no player blunders, I get the
following results from Dunbar's Risk Analyzer for Video Poker:
A $2000 bankroll will have a 14% RoR. You would have a 18% chance of
ending the 20 hours with a win of $2000 or more. You would have a
29% chance of being at least $2000 ahead at SOME POINT in the 20
hours. If you do go broke, there's only about 1 chance in 10,000
that it would occur in the first 10 hours.
A $3000 bankroll will have about a 0.2% RoR. You would have a 9%
chance of ending the 20 hours with a win of $3000 or more. You would
have a 14% chance of being at least $3000 ahead at SOME POINT in the
20 hours.
As you probably already know if you've used the longterm RoR
calculator at Wizard of Odds or in my own program, even a $10,000
bankroll would have a longterm RoR of 9%. A $20,000 bankroll has a
longterm RoR of 0.8%. But you clearly don't need that much money to
play the game for several days.
Even for 100 hours of play (at 400 hands/hr), a $7000 bankroll would
leave you with just a 3% RoR.
If you choose to play 25c, then just cut each of the bankrolls above
in half to get the same RoR's I reported.
Thanks for buying my program, Karen! I hope you find it useful.
Good luck with your play.

I don't know
what version of Loose Deuces we are talking about.
It is 4-10-17-25-500 according to a strategy sheet I am following
(run by a
friend). I think the only variant from the standard one on your
program is
the 17 instead of 15.
I ran yours and if I was correct, it is kind of scary!!
