The goal of video poker is not always to get the best hand possible but to get the best winning hand. Unlike poker games against other players, you do not have to have the best hand at the table. You are playing between you and a pre-determined set of winning hands.
If you have played poker before, you have to get out of the habit of keeping the highest cards (like Aces & Kings). You are better off keeping a single Jack rather than a Ace because the Jack gives you more chances at a straight or straight flush.
Video poker (VP) is one of the very few casino games where it is possible
to find a game with a positive expectation. Even with near even odds the casino
still makes money at VP because it takes a bit of skill. The
strategies use math to calculate the expected return of each hand. Don't worry,
you don't have to understand how it is calculated, you just have to follow the
best play. you just have to print
the strategy and place it beside you when you play. The nature
of of the game means that you can take as long as you want to play. In no
time you won't even have to look at the strategy card.
