Strategy Changes Due to Progressives; especially in DB 10/7

Is there any reference covering strategy changes due to increased RF
value? Appears--from

http://videopoker.fws1.com/progressive_strat.htm

That use of unmodified DB 10/7 strategy gives up quite a bit of ER
when fully-correct strategy would yield 102%.

Ideally, such a reference might show the RF value at which each
change becomes indicated, and an estimate of the cost of NOT making
each such change.

You can use Frugal VP software to do this but it is time-intensive. I usually just print out the strategy for a 4500-coin royal, 5000, 5500, etc. for the few times we play a progressive - not exact but good enough for our limited progressive play. We don't play any regularly now - but we used to play a 10/7 DB progressive at Empress in Joliet - not sure if it is still there.

All the pros who regularly play progressives have all the exact breakpoints for all the progressives games they regularly scout and play - but none of them are going to put that information on the Internet!!!!!
