Jeff Lotspiech's Video Poker Page

I have spent more years than I care to admit playing video poker and running my computer program to analyze the optimal strategy. I have written a free short article and several one-page "cheat sheets" which show what to hold and discard for several video poker variations:
 
Strategy
Jacks-or-Better
Deuces Wild
Double Deuces Wild
Jokers Wild
Tens-or-Better
Five Wilds
Double Bonus

Click here for an explanation of the notation used on the sheets.

The strategy sheets are in Adobe's "PDF" format. Adobe provides a free PDF viewer; click to go to their download page.

Did you know that you can play for free at an online casino with a no deposit bonus to top it all!
