(2) playing feeplay thru once

(4) effective use of hot/cold cycles
(5) the simplest, most effective special play to choose between 2 different suited high cards- has prolonged my 100 credits bp play.
(6) the math for strategy cards, computer helps is NOT what VP is about.
The rest came from VP Truth. Thanks, Rob.
OK- let the name calling continue - maybe another wasted 8 years.
Number 5 is pretty amazing, since your chances of getting a non-losing hand holding two high cards is greater than your chance of getting a non-losing hand holding just one high card. Now in some games like triple double bonus, double double bonus, royal aces bonus, double bonus, and super double bonus video poker (and super aces bonus, white hot aces, and on and on and on), if you're dealt an Ace and another high card, you would hold just the Ace if your going with the math (which you should always do), but, regardless, holding two high cards is more likely to avoid a losing final hand than holding one high card in these jacks or better variants.
