We've identified the most troublesome hands for new players, and advised the correct move for each hand. To use this strategy, play your normal game and make the easy decisions, and if you come upon a tough decision refer to the rules below.

Here is how you should use the chart below:

  1. Find your trouble hand on the chart.
  2. Follow the chart's recommendation.

Example: Imagine you have Kc-Qc-Jc-Tc-9c. In this case you have a straight flush, but you also have a royal flush draw. By looking at the chart below, you'll see that a straight flush is better than a royal flush draw, so make sure to keep the straight flush and take your payout.

  • Royal Flush Draw vs. Pat Flush » Keep the Royal Flush Draw
  • Three of a Kind Aces vs. Full House » Keep the Three Aces
  • Three of a Kind (besides Aces) vs. Full House » Keep the Full House
  • Pat Straight vs. Four to a Straight Flush » Keep the Straight
  • Two Pair vs. a Pair of Aces » Keep the Pair of Aces
  • Two Pair vs. any Pair Besides Aces » Keep the Two Pair
  • High Pair (Jacks or Better) vs. Four to a Flush » Keep the High Pair
  • Four to a Flush vs. Four to a Straight » Keep the Four to a Flush

Expert Double Bonus Strategy

Here is how you should use the chart below:

  1. Start at the top of the chart and work down.
  2. When you see a hand that matches up with yours, follow that strategy.

Example: Imagine you have Qs-Js-Ts-3s-Jh. In this case, you'd match up with a few rows on the table below. Your hand would qualify for a high pair of Jacks, a Q-J-T suited with one penalty (the other Jack is a penalty card), and four to a flush. However, on the table you'll notice that Q-J-T suited with one penalty is higher than a four flush or a pair, so you should keep the Q-J-T suited and ditch the four flush and pair.

*Penalty cards are any cards which you plan to discard that hurt your chances of completing a draw. For example, if you have 7c-9c-Jc-8s-5h and plan to keep the 7c-9c-Jc, the 8s that you're discarding actually hurts you because there is one less card in the deck that completes your straight. However, it still makes sense to discard the 8s because you have better expected return going for the straight flush than to draw to the inside straight.

Straight (St.) penalty cards mean cards that interfere w/ a hand's possibility of making a straight. Flush penalty cards mean cards that interfere w/ a hand's possibility of making a flush. High Pair (HP) penalty cards mean cards that interfere w/ a hand's possibility of making a high pair (a pair Jacks or better).

BonusMy video poker strategy maker will give you a strategy for almost any form of video poker, including triple double bonus.
It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.
supermaxhd
That looks pretty nice. I had seen that before but I didn't realize what it did. Is it complete? I don't see where it explains two high cards ie kj. I've been trying to learn in training mode on another site but some of the correct plays didn't seem right.
supermaxhd
I found it...thanks again
supermaxhd
The strategy maker for triple double bonus doesn't show 2 high cards in the basic strategy but then shows two to a straight: JK listed as an exception. Maybe it is not complete.

It's certainly more difficult than Jacks or Better.
The strategy linked to is complete. You can manually consolidate it into a simpler strategy using whatever notation you're comfortable with. If you follow only the basic strategy (and ignore the exceptions) then you're playing a game that returns 99.5761% (with the full-pay 9/7 paytable). Throw in the exceptions and you'll gain another 0.0017%. You're on your own for identifying the conditions which make each exception apply.

Triple Bonus Plus Video Poker


Versus most games yes, this one is more difficult. And nope, no simple strategy made. For most players, it's just better to play 9/6 JoB. Any game where the flush payout is 7 for 1 or higher is more difficult. Is there is a 9/7 TDB in your area even?
Triple double bonus poker strategy card gameI wouldn't touch anything lower than 9/7 either.
