Simplified Strategy. Will trade EV for Simplicity.

#1

I'm looking to start expanding the number of games I can play, and I'm
looking for chart/program that will provide an "easy" strategy for
various games. I want somethig like Wizard of Odds has a beginer,
intermediate, and advanaved strategy for a few games.

Basically, I looking for something that rather than a perferct strategy
will give a simple stategy to learn. I know this will cost some EV,
but I think that speed of learning, ease of use (less mistakes), and
speed of play will all make up for it.

Eventually, I'd like to learn PERFECT strategy, but I'd like to be able
to start with the simplier version just in case a good play comes up
before I'm ready with the PERFECT strategy.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I'll offer up a general one ... Skip Hughes has published on a
periodic basis some very commendable simplified game strategies that
sacrifice nominal ER (less than .05%, generally, if I recall
correctly). These appear in Video Poker Player. A subscription
includes online access to back issues.

btw, I'm not the self-appointed guru hawker around here ... I simply
share with others where I've found value worth sharing :slight_smile:

The Tom Ski VPSM charts in the vpFree database are simple and easy to
use...for easier use benchmark hands can be highlighted such as pair,
two pair, flush etc. for use in the casino and fast reference. From
the vpFree home page go to V P Pay Tables then VPSM or direct to this

Great minds and all that. I found that if you
grab the data you can reformat it in WFW to
fit on one page and highlight the key
hand (like a pair).
