Triple Double Bonus.
Dealt 2444A.
Which kicker should I hold?
Neither.
TDB. AAAk only.
Would have been one extra with Ace
Why would you not play 20 hands at 5 credits?.....wtf?
Tell me if my reasoning is wrong, Mr MaxPen. I believe that with 100 hands at one credit each I had the better chance of getting something back on each hand played.Quote:

You do sorta sound like Alan.Quote:

Or dealt two aces on a 3-liner vulched TDB quarter UX play and caught the other two on the 2x multiplied hand:Quote:

1) Five coins typically adds a bump to the RF award; the number of lines argument is circular reasoning at best and a waste of bandwidth for the rest of us. You are giving up EV for more lines ... that part should be obvious. Why not spend $100 buying 100 lottery tickets at 50% EV each vs $100 on a spin at a 95% game ... we all understand the part with 100 tickets, you are going to win more often.
2) The greatest scam on N-Play is the dealt hand effect that I wrote extensively on Skip Hughes’ message board.
If you play 100 lines, then 400 RF’s (100 RF’s for each suit) are waiting to awarded when dealt.
Do you know how much EV in N-Play is based on the dealer hand effect? I think not.
In N-Play, the EV is the EV but the footnote about dealt hand effect is cleverly omitted.
TDB also shorts the AWAK payoff with less than 5 coins - so it is an especially poor choice for playing short.
The answer to the original question here is you hold the Ace. Hard to understand why none of the vp experts here didn't know that and instead, changed the subject.
That's not correct. I posted a $25 TDB AWAK $100k hit of mine at Wynn from 2012 I think, and the paytable was NOT shorted with less than five credits being bet. The pic is in the Jackpots thread.Quote:

Anyway, why fuck around (if you must play -EV VP) - play Royal Aces bonus and you don't even need a kicker (and it's not shorted for short-coining in any configuration of the game).Quote:
