I just opened my VPW to do some practicing of Super Double Double
Bonus Poker, one of the games Bob Dancer covered in his class
yesterday. When I clicked on the game's link in the drop-down box and
it showed the various paytables for that game, the perfect play
percentage for the 8/5 game was different than that which was taught.
I checked the values for other games and they were all wrong. For
instance, for 9/6 JoB the figure is 98.373%, for Full Pay Deuces Wild
the figure is 99.573%, and for 8/5 Bonus Poker the figure is 97.932%.
Has anyone else experienced this? I closed the program, waited a few
minutes, opened it again and had the same problem. I don't mind
uninstalling and reinstalling VPW, but if others have this problem
then the company may have to issue an upgrade or patch to fix this
problem.

You're seeing the ER's for when the games are played "short coin".
Ensure that your wager is set to 5 coins.

Speaking of VPW, I found an error in the JW2 strategy chart. It
doesn't list two-pair as a recommended hold -- a blatant error IMO.
Who knows how many of the other strategies are incorrect.

Yep. You're right. And that one is 100% my fault. VPW does not have a
Joker Wild strategy generator in version 1, so the strategies were
manually created by me and then hard-coded into the program. Somehow
"two pair" got dropped out. Thanx for bringing it to my attention.
