Short Pay Pick'em Strategy

Just curious,
Is there any change in strategy for "short pay" Pick'em, the one that
pays 20 for Three of a Kind and 10,000 for Royal Flush? Yes, I know
it's a bad machine, but I'm just curious.

Also, are there any plans for other variations of Pick'em? I would
LOVE a "Double Bonus" (paying extra for certain 4Ks) or "Tens or
Better" (paying extra on high hands) version. Even with a bad
paytable, Pick'em is less of a headache than Jacks or Better.

Replies appreciated.

I can't see how you could make any adjustment due to a short
paytable. You only have 2 choices off the draw, and you always favor
a RF chance, and 3 or 4 of a kind oportunities. The best strategy is
to look for a full pay version.

Yep, the next step down from full-pay is 96.7% ER. Check out 5-
Card's Site from the vpFREE Home page/Paytables to see the three
versions of 10,000/20 that are known (suck). Full Pay or No Play.
