What is tens or better poker?

Tens or better is a popular video poker game resembling Jacks or Better, However, in Tens or Better, you will not receive a payout unless you make at least a pair of tens, which makes it incredibly easy to complete your video poker game several times richer than you were upon starting.

Although Tens or Better guarantees frequent small winnings, players who do not like the slower accumulation of solid winnings opt for the Jacks or Better where they have a chance to make a better hand and qualify for a better payout. Tens or Better is a game in which you compete against the machine rather than against other players.

It is a 1-hand game and player’s goal is to have at least a pair of 10’s among the cards dealt. The best paying combination is the Royal Flush. In order to get started, you are supposed to place the desired bet. Then, you will be dealt five cards. You are free to keep all of them or discard as many as you want.

Should you keep a low pair in Jacks or better?

Video Poker: Low Pairs vs High Cards By John Grochowski on Monday February 26, 2018 casino, casino-floor, casino-games, casinos, video-poker, video-poker-machines One of the most important strategy tips for video poker players to remember is that low pairs are almost always more valuable than high cards. You win more hands when you hold a Jack or higher, but have larger average payoffs and win more money when you hold low pairs instead.

“Please explain for 9-6 Double Double Bonus, because that’s the game I play.”Let’s do this assuming King of spades, Queen of hearts, 8 of diamonds, 8 of clubs and 4 of clubs, and again with the King and Queen both being spades.Either way, if you hold the pair of 8s and discard the other three cards, there are 16,125 possible draws, with 11,559 being losing hands.Of the 4,556 winners, 2,592 are two pairs bring 1-for-1 payoffs, 1,854 are three of a kind paying 3-for-1, 165 are full houses paying 9-for-1 and 45 are four of a kind paying 250-for-1.

The average return per five coins wagered is 3.67 coins. If the King and Queen are different suits, the 16,215 possible draws include 6,154 winners, with 5,015 high pairs (1-for-1), 717 two pairs (1-for-1), 283 three of a kind (3-for-1), 128 straights (4-for-1), 18 full houses (9-for-1) and two four of a kind (250-for-1).

1. The average return is 2.27 coins.
2. So by a 3.67-2.27 margin of average return, the better play is to hold the low pair over the two high cards.
3. If the King and Queen are the same suit, flushes, straight flushes and a royal flush become possibilities.
4. That raises the average return for holding King-Queen suited to 2.83 coins.

That’s still not as high as the 3.67 return on the low pair. High cards are tempting, but never underestimate low pairs. : Video Poker: Low Pairs vs High Cards

What hand is unbeatable in poker?

Straight Flush: Five cards in numerical order, all of identical suits. In the event of a tie: Highest rank at the top of the sequence wins. The best possible straight flush is known as a royal flush, which consists of the ace, king, queen, jack and ten of a suit. A royal flush is an unbeatable hand. Four of a Kind: Four cards of the same rank, and one side card or ‘kicker’. In the event of a tie: Highest four of a kind wins. In community card games where players have the same four of a kind, the highest fifth side card (‘kicker’) wins. Full House: Three cards of the same rank, and two cards of a different, matching rank. In the event of a tie: Highest three matching cards wins the pot. In community card games where players have the same three matching cards, the highest value of the two matching cards wins. Flush: Five cards of the same suit. In the event of a tie: The player holding the highest ranked card wins. If necessary, the second-highest, third-highest, fourth-highest, and fifth-highest cards can be used to break the tie. If all five cards are the same ranks, the pot is split. The suit itself is never used to break a tie in poker. Straight: Five cards in sequence. In the event of a tie: Highest ranking card at the top of the sequence wins. Note: The Ace may be used at the top or bottom of the sequence, and is the only card which can act in this manner. A,K,Q,J,T is the highest (Ace high) straight; 5,4,3,2,A is the lowest (Five high) straight. Three of a kind: Three cards of the same rank, and two unrelated side cards. In the event of a tie: Highest ranking three of a kind wins. In community card games where players have the same three of a kind, the highest side card, and if necessary, the second-highest side card wins. Two pair: Two cards of a matching rank, another two cards of a different matching rank, and one side card. In the event of a tie: Highest pair wins. If players have the same highest pair, highest second pair wins. If both players have two identical pairs, highest side card wins. One pair: Two cards of a matching rank, and three unrelated side cards. In the event of a tie: Highest pair wins. If players have the same pair, the highest side card wins, and if necessary, the second-highest and third-highest side card can be used to break the tie. High card: Any hand that does not qualify under a category listed above. In the event of a tie: Highest card wins, and if necessary, the second-highest, third-highest, fourth-highest and smallest card can be used to break the tie.

How often do you hit a royal flush in Jacks or better?

By Henry Tamburin – I get many questions about a royal flush in video poker. That’s not too surprising since the royal flush is the premier hand that all video poker players dream (and hope) of getting. Here’s a sample of questions and my responses. Q: I’ve been playing video poker several times a week for over a year.

You keep saying that a royal flush occurs once in every 40,000 hands yet I still haven’t gotten a royal. What gives? Firstly, I never wrote that you could expect one royal flush after playing 40,000 hands (or one cycle). What I wrote was, “On average, you will hit a royal flush once in every 40,000 hands.” The word “average” means a whole bunch of sets of 40,000 hands.

In other words, in any given set of 40,000 hands, you could hit more than one royal flush or, heaven forbid, possibly no royals. In fact, you have a 36.8% chance that you won’t get a royal in one cycle (40,000 hands), and a 13.5% chance after two cycles (80,000 hands).

Ouch! Therefore, the fact that you went over a year without a royal is statistically possible. Q: How come every time I need one card for a royal flush, it never shows up, but that exact card that I needed always seems to show up on the very next hand ? That’s because you have “selective memory.” The computer program in the video poker machine that randomly selects the cards for each hand doesn’t use the information from previous hands to determine which cards it will deal.

Every hand is a random deal regardless of what cards appeared (or didn’t appear) on the previous hand. Q: Over three years, I hit seven royal flushes in the same casino and none in two other casinos that I play regularly. I’m beginning to believe those casinos somehow tighten their video poker machines so players can’t get a royal.

1. You will average one royal flush per roughly every 40,000 hands at any casino.
2. Casinos can’t change the odds of hitting a royal flush.
3. What they can do is change the payout some casinos will pay less than 4,000 coins for a royal flush; therefore, always check to be sure that the payout for a five-coin royal flush is 4000 coins.) The bottom line is as long as the pay schedule is the same for a particular video poker game, the odds of getting a royal flush will be the same no matter where the machine is located (assuming a random deal).

Q: I’ve been dealt many three- and four-card royal flushes lately. What are the odds of this happening? Playing Jacks or Better, you’ll experience the thrill of being dealt a four-card royal flush once in every 2,777 hands (roughly once every four hours on average).

Once in every 92 hands, on average, you’ll be dealt a three-card royal flush (about 7-8 per hour). This is what makes video poker exciting; namely, that you’ll have several opportunities to draw for a royal flush even if the odds are somewhat long (see next question). Q: When you hold three cards to the royal flush, what is the chance of getting the two cards that you need on the draw for a royal flush? You have a one in 1,081 chance of getting the two cards you need for the royal flush.

The following table shows the chance of hitting the royal flush on the draw when you hold x cards to the royal flush.

RF Cards in Initial Five-Card Hand	Chance of Hitting the Royal Flush
0	1 in 383,484
1	1 in 178,365
2	1 in 16,215
3	1 in 1,081
4	1 in 47

Q: If I’m dealt a three-card royal flush and a high pair in the same hand, why does the strategy say to hold the high pair when the royal flush pays so much more? You need to analyze all the possible winning hands that you could get when you hold a three-card royal flush vs.

when you hold a high pair in the same hand. These calculations have already been done for you. For example, suppose your initial hand contains 10-J-Q of diamonds along with a queen of clubs. The expected return (ER) for holding the pair of queens is 7.6827 vs.7.4098 for holding the three-card royal flush (this is for 9/6 Jacks or Better).

In dollars and cents, you’d earn 27 cents more on average for a max coin wager on a dollar denomination machine by holding the high pair vs. the three-card royal flush in this example. Q: My wife plays Jacks or Better. The other day she was a dealt a hand that contained a four-card straight flush with a gap and a three-card royal flush.

• She held the three-card royal flush.
• Was that the correct play? I’m sorry to say it wasn’t.
• The correct play was to hold the four-card straight flush—even with a gap—over the three-card royal flush.
• Tip: If your wife had a strategy card with her, she would have made the right play.) Q: What are the odds of being dealt a royal flush in the initial hand? The odds are one in 649,740 hands.

You might think that’s close to impossible but it could happen. (This happened to me once while I was showing my father-in-law how to play a Triple Line video poker game in a Las Vegas casino, resulting in a royal flush on each line. How’s that for luck?) Q: How much does the royal flush contribute to the 99.54% return for 9/6 Jacks or Better? The royal flush contributes 1.9807% toward the overall 99.64% return.

Hand	Contribution to Return
Royal Flush	1.9807%
Straight Flush	0.5465%
Four of a Kind	5.9064%
Full House	10.3610%
Flush	6.6087%
Straight	4.4917%
Three of a Kind	22.3346%
Two Pair	25.8558%
High Pair	21.4585%
Total	99.5439%

Got a video poker question? Send it to [email protected]. Tamburin’s Tip of the Month You are playing NSU Deuces Wild. How would you play these hands that don’t contain a deuce? In the top hand, your best play is to hold the consecutive three-card straight flush 6-7-8 (2.77 ER) over the four card straight 5-6-7-8 (2.55 ER). In the bottom hand, because the three-card straight flush has a gap (2.47 ER) your best play is to hold the consecutive four-card straight 4-5-6-7.

1. When you play NSU Deuces Wild and your initial hand doesn’t contain a deuce, you should hold a consecutive three-card straight flush (5-6-7 through 9-10-J) over a consecutive four-card straight (from 4-5-6-7 to 10-J-Q-K), but the latter over a three-card straight flush with one or two gaps.

Which poker game is most profitable?

1. No-Limit Texas Hold’em Poker Cash Games – Sitting at the top of the list is the cash game variant of the Cadillac of poker. This is the best poker game in terms of profitability without a doubt. Many people play this game exclusively as a pro or semi-pro and aim to make $100 an hour or more from it.

1. Despite countless other variations and new gimmicky formats, No-Limit Hold’em remains the most popular variant of poker, and therefore the most profitable, due to the simple fact that everybody is playing it.
2. The game is incredibly simple to learn, giving it a mass appeal.
3. This means you can always find the games running, and you can play anytime, any place.

You can find action regardless of the stakes you’re playing. Since online poker sites offer cash games starting with as little as 2 dollars, it makes the game accessible to virtually everyone with an internet connection. The fact that a lot of people are playing it also makes it (still) the most profitable poker format.

1. There are a couple of reasons for this: First of all, as mentioned, you can find the games running 24/7.
2. The fact that you can always get action makes this format much more preferable to others, especially if you’re strapped for time.
3. Cash games also provide flexibility you can’t have in other formats like sit-and gos and tournaments.

You can buy in and cash out any time you want. This allows you to select profitable games, and avoid the others. What I mean by this is the ability to table select and seat select, provided your poker site allows it. The goal is to find tables with plenty of recreational players around, as they’ll be your main source of poker income.

If there are no recreational players around, you can simply move on to a new table. It’s also worth mentioning that you can begin winning money in cash games fairly quickly and consistently if you employ the right strategy, especially at the lower limits. Nathan actually talked about the correct strategy for No Limit Holdem cash games in his latest video, “top 5 things he wishes he knew before starting poker.” Bottom line though: With the plethora of recreational players populating the lower limits of cash games in particular, as long as you don’t make any glaring beginner mistakes you’re already way ahead of the majority of the player pool.

With the right strategy, table selection, and proper bankroll management, you can make a considerable side income, even at the lower stakes NL holdem cash games. By the way, if you play low stakes No Limit Hold’em cash games, either online or live, I have already written for you the most comprehensive completely free guides for how to beat each limit.

Should you go all in preflop with jacks?

4. How to Play Pocket Jacks in Multi-Way Pots – Lastly, let’s talk about how to play your pocket jacks in big multi-way pots with 3 or more players going to the flop. If you play low stakes poker, you have undoubtedly encountered this situation many times.

And that is because these games often have lots of loose recreational players in them and therefore it is very common to get multiple callers preflop. I use a lot of different poker software by the way so that I always know who the recreational players at the table are. For all the poker software I use, here is my complete list.

So, similar to the situation with high card flops, you do need to exercise some caution in big multi-way pots with your pocket jacks. And yes, even on good low card flops like we talked about before. And the reason why is because it is just statistically a lot more likely that somebody flopped something good like two pair, a set or a big draw when there are so many players involved.

• It is important that you get the maximum value with your pocket jacks by value betting but you also have to respect when somebody starts giving you some serious pushback by raising.
• And quite frankly when I have pocket jacks in a multi-way pot and I catch a bad high card flop I will often not even bother CBetting and just mostly look to get to a cheap showdown.

This is especially the case when I am out of position. For Example: You have J ♣ J ♠ in early position, raise it up, and get 1 caller in middle position and 1 call on the button. The flop comes A ♥ 8 ♣ 4 ♦ In a situation like this where I am out of position to both of the other players in the hand I will usually just check and maybe make a small bet on the turn or river.

Can you finish on a jack in jacks 2s and 8s?

Game rules – There are several rules which apply to certain cards in the game which change how the cards can be laid.

• Jacks can be played at any time on top of any card. Not only can it be played at any time in the game it also allows the player to change the suit of the cards to the one they prefer. For example, if a Jack is played the suit can be changed to hearts, then the player is allowed to lay a heart and any other appropriate cards on that go.
• If a 2 is played then the next player must pick up two cards, unless they can play a 2. This continues around the circle until a player is not able to play a 2. When this happens the player must pick up a number of cards (determined by the number or 2s laid multiplied by 2)
• If an 8 is played the next person in the game must play an 8 also. Again this continues around the circle until a player is unable to lay an eight. This player must then miss a number of goes (determined by the number of 8s laid)
• Another rule is that if a player has an ace of hearts the player next in turn must pick up 5 cards, unless they have an ace of spades, this cancels out the 5 cards they must pick up.

Play continues, until one player no longer has any cards to lay. On a player’s last card, “last card” must be said on their previous go in order to allow them to lay the card on their last go. One exception to this is if the player is able to end the game with a run or set of same value cards.

What is the most important skill in poker?

1. Handling Your Finances (Bankroll Management) – There are very few skills in poker as vital as the ability to manage your money. “Your bankroll is your single most important asset, so you need to learn how to handle it properly to succeed in the long run.” Poor bankroll management, playing higher than you can afford, or taking too many shots, are the fastest ways to lose all your money.

• This is a lesson many poker players have to learn on their own before realizing there’s simply no way around it.
• On the bright side, learning to handle your bankroll in poker will help you prepare for other life situations.
• You will learn key aspects of planning and distributing the funds in the most efficient way, and even taking necessary risks.

Whether in business or on a personal level, this is a very good skill to have.

What is the most popular poker variation?

Thanks to televised events like the World Series of Poker, the game of poker has risen in popularity in recent years. Players are attracted to the game’s combination of psychology, probability and, of course, luck in trying to put together winning hands time after time.

If you visit a casino, you’ll notice that there are multiple different types of poker, each with slight rule variations that change the complexity and the strategy of each game. Here are five common types of poker you’re likely to see played at a casino,1. Five Card Draw Considered one of the simplest forms of poker, five card draw starts with each player receiving five cards.

After the initial deal, players can choose up to three cards to trade in exchange for new cards. The player with the best five-card combination wins.2. Texas Hold ’em By far the most popular version of poker played in America, Texas Hold ’em is the version of poker played in the World Series of Poker.

The game starts with each player receiving two cards to keep to themselves, and then progresses as five community cards are laid onto the table.1 “Players bet a total of four times during the game: after each player receives to cards, then three more times as the community cards are laid on the table,” says a spokesperson for The Casino at Dania Beach,

“Players use a combination of their own two cards and the five community cards to put together the best five-card combination possible, with the best overall combination winning the hand—and the chips.” 3. Omaha Hold ’em This variant of poker looks a lot like Texas Hold ’em, with two importance differences.

First, players are dealt four cards instead of two at the start of the hand. And the five community cards are all turned over at the same time, instead of being spread out over three rounds. However, players can only use two of their own cards when putting together the best five-card combination.4. Seven Card Stud In this game, each player is dealt seven cards.

Three are face down, and four are face up and visible to the entire table. Players use those seven cards to create the best five-card hand possible. “Compared to a game like five card draw, seven card stud can feature more dangerous hands since players have seven cards to choose from, instead of five,” says a spokesperson for The Casino at Dania Beach, 5. Video Poker If you ask a poker enthusiast, video poker is not the same as a regular poker game. With this machine-based version, there are no other players—you’re only playing against the computer to put together the best hand possible. It’s not the same as the real thing, but if you find yourself overwhelmed at the live poker tables, it might be worth taking a break for the relatively lower-stakes, lower-stress experience offered by a video poker machine.

Is GTO the best poker strategy?

GTO Poker Meaning: What Exactly Is GTO? – The term GTO poker strategy comes from “game theory optimal,” the full name of the strategy that was invented over the last decade. Game theory optimal, or GTO poker strategy, is a strategy that seeks complete balance in the game, making your plays 100% unexploitable by your opponents.

• This style of poker is the exact opposite of the exploitative poker strategy, which most players from the older generations employ.
• While exploitative strategy seeks to find holes in other players’ games and use them, GTO poker strategy seeks perfect balance, protecting the player from anyone else exploiting them and gradually creating profit based on imperfect plays by other players.

When playing GTO, you will be bluffing and value betting on every street of every hand with various holdings, and you will not care about what your opponent does. While this may sound like a bad way to play poker at first, GTO is a proven strategy that works like a charm, especially in heads-up poker,

In fact, computers have only been able to really solve heads-up play thus far, but many of the concepts of GTO play can be employed in 6-max games and ring games as well. So, let’s start talking about how the GTO poker strategy actually works and all the game theory concepts you need to understand before you start playing.

What cards should you not play in poker?

2 and 7 – Matin Bahadori/Stockbyte/Getty Images Holding 2 and 7 off suit is considered the worst hand in Texas Hold’em. They are the lowest two cards you can have that cannot make a straight (there are five cards between 2 and 7). Even if they are suited, they will make you a very low flush, and if either makes pairs, it is still a low hand.

Is bonus poker better than Jacks or Better?

This is certainly not as good as a full pay Jacks or Better, but it is still not bad. It is getting harder to find full pay (9/6) Jacks or Better games both in live casinos as well as online casinos. Full pay Bonus Poker games still tend to be quite readily available, however.
