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.

"Video Poker - Optimum Play" offers my "Precision Play" rules for several of the most common games. Instead of a hand rank table, you follow a simple set of rules. For example, there are only eleven rules for Jacks or Better, yet jazbo has shown that they will yield within 0.01% of perfect play. That's a very small trade-off of EV for great simplicity.
