I would highly recommend for people to take risks and go with feelings as apposed to strictly following the math.
The theo on our games is slowly shrinking over time with all these players following the math and learning strategy.
We need lots more players winging it! My personal thanks to all players out there who do this

First, quads "normally" pay 25 for 1 (JOB), 250 is on the bonus varieties (which I know we both prefer)
Second, the SF is not your only possible winner: you have all flushes, all straights and 3 A's as possible winners with that hold hand. So Its really not a bad hold at all.
Funnily enough, on my last trip I hit a SF on a 4-6-8 hold on a $1 DDB machine that was red hot for me on a "feeling". I threw away QJ, the next higher rated hand because I just felt "Straight Flush". The 5 & 7 popped up, in sequence 4-5-6-7-8. I was playing 10 coins in, so it was a Mohegan Sun hand pay.________________________________

Subject: [vpFREE] When Do You Try For A SF?My first taxable jackpot for 2010 was an Ace low SF. I sent the picture to quite a few vpFREE friends humorously complaining I had gotten the "wrong one".
One of the responses intrigued me.
"Why are you even trying to get a SF?"
Despite the math which dictates the cards you choose I'm beginning to wonder.
There are 40 SF combinations in a deck of cards. Of those 40, you subtract the 4 royals and are left with 36 SF hands (assuming no wild cards in the game).
Yet in most VP games a SF returns only 250. That's the equivalent payout of a far more common 4K. In the SF I drew I held the A,2 and 4 of Hearts. Isn't there some logic to only holding the ace instead of trying for such a longshot?
Any SF is nice to see when you get one. But, especially in multi-play games, I'm not sure it really is worth it to try to draw to that hand.
Your thoughts?
