VP tourney play

Greetings,

Next week I am in my first VP "contest" in Las Vegas. Thier are three
10 minute play periods, with 400 credits. Jacks or better. I can play
at 100% error free and the speed is not a problem. I am looking for
suggestions on tips to play "differently" than normal, if I should?
THANKS

Wayne

Here are my thoughts:

Ten minutes is such a short time that "long term statistics" do not
mean much. To win these things, you have to get more "big" payoffs
than the other contestants. A Royal would almost certainly nail the
thing. I would forget "precision play" and simply go for fours-of-a-
kind or better. Keep dealt pairs (not two pair), any three to a S.F.,
and any two to a R.F.

Hi Norma,
THANKS for your input. That sounds logical and I will try it.
