I'm trying to learn the strategy for 10/6 Two Pair Joker Wild. I'm
having some trouble with it as it is a fairly difficult game to play
with a 99.90 (or better) ER.
Can anyone confirm that the TomSki Basic Strategy for 10/6 JW2 on
this vpFREE site is correct? There are some discrepancies in the last
couple of strategy lines between TomSki's Basic Strategy and my
strategy card.
Any assistance with this will be much appreciated.

It wouldn't be unusual for the last couple of strategy lines (w/ and
w/o Joker) to vary from one published strategy set to another.
(That's true of vpsm/tomski strategy vs Frugal VP, for example.)
The value of holding something like Joker+4 in a hand varies depending
upon your discards. For example, if you're tossing card values of 8
or lower you have fewer straight possibilities for the draw than if
you aren't.
The challenge in devising a strategy is that when Joker+4 is the
strongest hold (meaning you don't have, for example, a 4 flush hold as
an alternative), the balance of the cards that might be in your hand
are hardly randomly distributed -- they've been carved away from those
that otherwise would represent stronger holds. It takes quite a bit
of finagling to determine exactly what your average hand looks like
when the best pick is Joker+4.
The point is that the ranking of holds by calculated average EV is a
very sensitive exercise when it comes down to positioning two holds
that are very close in value. There are fine EV differences at the
tail end of a strategy and, depending upon the method used to
approximate EV's, the result can vary from one method to another.
(Jim Wolf, designer behind FVP, has taken considerable pride in
developing a strategy engine that does this with particular finesse
and accuracy. I have little doubt that the VPW strategy engine is
extraordinarily robust as well.)
To the extent that there are such differences between strategies, I
suggest they are immaterial when it comes to the magnitude of overall
strategy accuracy and a reputable strategy source will yield something
very functional.

With you Harry. Absolute only person needs to know last several moves

chess must be a Strictly Slots VP writer in need a month's pay. Ease
bests perfect and he'll tell you the same if asked. The first time you
hit a RF with an A-10 which gets you a ??? on strategy but you gots

you is now ahead for life despite a small odds change the strat don't
even see. Jim writes perfect for FVP but I 'spect plays a tad easy. Hi,

I'd like to thank Harry and Eighth Aero for their responses to my
strategy question. I'd also like to to thank David for his very
helpful private response to my specific questions. I think I'm getting
closer to understanding what strikes me as a very difficult game to
master.
