Strategy for WHA (White Hot Aces)?

[Howard_Stern]

Triple Pay Plus is the same game except that the SF usually pays 400 in WHA
vs 500 in TP+.
9-5 is full pay (99.57%) strategy is similar to 9-5 DDB. One exception is
that a no gap 3SF is better than a pair of 5-10.
If it is Harrah's Joliet then they are 8-5 (98.50%) on 25c 3/5/10 play but
9-5 on the $1 version. Harrah's E.Chicago IN is 9-5 on 25c

Subject: [vpFREE] Strategy for WHA (White Hot Aces)?

Hi all,
Tonight I'm headed with friends to an Illinois casino and it says
they have WHA. What kind of strategy can I use for this game? In
other words, is there a separate strategy for just this game or
should/can I use a DB, DW, JOB, etc type strategy? Thanks.
