Online Poker Tips - Tips on Video Poker Success
Video poker is skill-based in that the large majority
of the hands win you nothing, so you need to carefully
choose which cards to draw from the deal. While about
1 of every 5 hands dealt your way will be winners, the
rest of the time you'll want to draw a card or five,
depending on your strategy. Here are some quick online
poker tips for those of you who aren't patient enough
for a long explanation.
Online Poker Tip 1: Keep on the lookout
for Jacks or better machines that pay 9 coins for a
full house and six coins for a flush. (i.e. 9/6 machines).
Online Poker Tip 2: Progressive jackpots
are only worthwhile if you play a progressive video
poker machine that pays 8 coins for a full house and
5 for a flush, play on a progressive where the jackpot
is over $250 on a nickel machine, $2,500 on a quarter,
and $10,000 for the dollar.
Online Poker Tip 3: Always play max
coins (or max credits as the case may be) on a progressive
machine to get the bonus for royal flushes.
Online Poker Tip 4: Until you're at
least beyond being a novice at the game, play at one
of the lower denominations offered.
Online Poker Tip 5: Holding the Jack
(instead of the Ace, in particular) gives you more opportunities
of making more lucrative hands than an other cards would.
