There are two very frustrating situations playing Bonus Poker.
One is when you are dealt a full house with three aces. Proper strategy is to hold the full house with most of the Bonus Poker paytables such as 8/5 and 7/5 though in 6/5 Bonus holding only the three aces makes sense.
The frustrating thing about holding the full house with three aces is that we are so tempted to just hold the three aces and try for the quad-aces jackpot.
the other frustrating situation is being dealt a straight flush with four cards to a royal. Proper strategy is to hold the dealt straight flush -- with the exception of Deuces Wild games where a straight flush isn't a big pay and then you try for the royal.
I guess you might make the case to try for the royal when a big progressive jackpot is involved. But in situations like those in the photo below, when dealt a straight flush with four to the royal you hold the straight flush. The photo below is of a dealt straight flush with four to the royal in 8/5 Bonus.
But here's my question: dealt a straight flush with four to the royal in a non-progressive game, how tempted are you to just hold the royal cards? Are you slightly tempted, very tempted or not tempted at all?
