Question: When you are comparing pay tables for games such as Bonus Wild, Split Card, and Dream Card, are you looking at the return percentages for the base game, or at the return percentages in tables computed for BW, SC, DC? I often hear you say that a certain game type (e.g. Deuces Wild Bonus) has the best pay table for a given game, but if you're going by the return percentages for the base game, then that's probably not correct, since different bonus features will have varying levels of benefit for different base games.

[@TheJackpotGents]

@MrBrain4 as far as I know we are using the returns including the bonus

[@DankMiddys]

Mr. Brain at 3:45 or so they had trips with split card AA in double double. What are your thoughts on keeping the 3 kicker vs not?

[@MrBrain4]

​@@DankMiddys (Edited, see bottom of comment) Yeah, that's an interesting question which I've never considered. Normally you'd not keep the kicker in DDB, but the math does change a bit when you already have AAA3 with chances to pull one of two remaining aces (as opposed to chances to pull the one remaining ace.) Let's do a bit of reasoning: So if you don't hold the kicker, you have 3 chances to draw one of two aces for quads (and another 2 chances to draw another kicker along with it). But if you do hold the kicker, you then have just 2 chances to draw one of the two aces for quads plus kicker. So in regular DDB, you're cutting your odds in half by holding the kicker, but in this game with a split card, your odds are 2/3. So it does push a little more towards holding the kicker. However... By holding a kicker, you also reduce your odds of getting 5 of a kind by a factor of three (since you must draw 2 out of 2, instead of 2 out of 3 which is 3 times easier). So I'm not quite sure. I think being unsure, I'd probably stick with the normal DDB strategy for now, but if I were planning on playing this game, I'd want to work out the math to know the correct answer. Do you want me to try to work it out exactly? (I can if you REALLY want to know the answer.) Perhaps pax0r has an answer already. Pax0r? (Edited): I tried calculating this by hand, and it seems very close, but very slightly in favor of keeping the kicker. But I've never tried to figure out a hand like this in split card, so it's possible I made some error.

I am a boomer so I know what your reference to "number nine, number nine" means in relation to the Beatles but have you told your viewers about what it comes from?

[@TheJackpotGents]

@sullysullivan4448 it's a secret treat for anyone in the know

[@phattstv9198]

Ugh, you were there. You clicked on it. Now you just gotta play the Joker Poker.....lol

[@yveslaflute9228]

best game of video poker, and most counter intuitive strategy. I just learned it on poker stars with auto hold, because I scavenge multipliers on ultimate X at my casino.

[@AlexKilpatrick81]

Y'all missed a number of 4-in-3-cards up-and-down straight draws in Split Card. You should average between 3 and 4 straights on that draw...

[@yveslaflute9228]

yay! 14:05 you got it right!

[@yveslaflute9228]

13:14 you pick worse draw 5 5, 5 5 6 7/8 is better, 5 6 7/8 is best almost ALWAYS keep the split cards, really, and take time do do some math. As a 7 card stud player, I consider all avenues, (streets are cards dealt, avenues are possible hands)

[@EdZ-s1f]

YEAH HOWS IT GOING EVERYBODY!!!!!!!! it is your opening phrase you have to keep that

[@phattstv9198]

My goal when playing split card is to get the 5 of a kind. That's why I play joker poker. Obviously there's a large built in advantage with that one extra card.

[@yveslaflute9228]

that Joker poker pay table has only short, 4 of a kind for 75 instead of 90 in the full pay, a hair under 99% back

[@sullysullivan4448]

Just wanted to point out that when you got the 4 aces and was wondering whether to save the 3 kicker, if you had kept the 3 you would not have gotten the 4th ace. Your strategy for double double worked.

[@yveslaflute9228]

1st hand i would have kept 8 + 8 9 10 suited, would have paid 30 more credits on same draw

[@EdZ-s1f]

that is you, gambling is gambling do what you want go with your gut. I wouldnt of

[@EdZ-s1f]

1st hand wasnt as bad as the next 2 lol!!!!!

[@EdZ-s1f]

lot of bad ones!!!! should of went 4 royal!!! unreal

[@EdZ-s1f]

deff not kicker on aces matt.... could always maybe get 5 of kind!!!!!!!!

[@ffchef3465]

Ace deuce on a split card in double double bonus has to be the play. You have 4 cards to get 3 aces or deuces for the bonus hand.

[@KevinKlugow]

I find that the flush draws seem to be more powerful in split-card.

[@VideoPokerPro]

Not sure why you dropped 10 shots at 3 to a royal over two pair with split cards @7:20 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@yveslaflute9228]

8: 00 8/9 J Q is the correct play, made a lot more than K Qs

[@KevinKlugow]

5 of a kind is better than 4 of a kind kicker.

[@donmanning5149]

Will you be playing 6-card again?

[@petrobucks]

In the first hand in split card when you were dealt the 10C, 8/9C, and 8S, have you calculated the odds of holding all three cards? I haven't done the math yet but it seems that on the one hand it will reduce the odds to get a flush, straight, or straight flush but at the same time create a higher probability of getting a two pair, three of a kind, full house, of four of a kind. Thoughts?

[@TheJackpotGents]

No we haven't. That's the reason we don't play much split card is we haven't found a strategy for it
