VIDEO POKER BONUS DEUCES WILD Ep 36 HOW TO WIN! Watch and Learn Expert Strategy from the Master WIN!

The purpose of this channel is not only to teach: think of me as an "Ambassador" of Video Poker. I boast with conviction that ANYONE can win, but I don't merely make unsubstantiated claims and leave it at that; I prove by demonstrating how it can be done.

The featured game for this session is Bonus Deuces Wild, which offers an EV of 99.4% when using expert strategy. This is very close to the 99.5% return of standard 9/6 Jacks or Better,, meaning that it falls right in the middle of the "not so bad" category. Keep in mind that "not so bad" does not mean it is a winner; you will want to make up for that 0.6% and probably more, so you should be looking for a rather generous casino that nets you an additional 1% at the very least.

This video presentation is from a 150-hand session. I do not "cherry-pick" in my videos and only show certain hands; you will be see the entire session exactly as it was dealt and played. All episodes of my Video Poker Master class will be played "perfectly," or very close to it, so you can be certain by watching that you learning correct strategy for whatever game is being played. Any mistakes that I might make, if any, will be relatively insignificant, and I will bring your attention to them.

Usually one cannot just walk up to any Video Poker machine and expect to win. The VAST majority of games are losers, as is the game featured in this video, and if a play has under a 100% EV it does not matter if you play "perfectly" or not, you will still lose in the long run. Winning is not only about using expert strategy; winning is about finding the right "play" which is a combination of machine EV and casino promotions. Taking a game that is a "small" loser such as Bonus Deuces Wild (99.4%), 9/6 Jacks or Better (99.5%) 16/10 NSU Deuces Wild (99.7%), and Triple Bonus Plus (99.8%) for example, and turning them into a winning proposition is certainly possible, but it is absolutely imperative that you find good promotion to go along with it.

You CANNOT win on "expert strategy" alone; you're play must have over a 100% EV total in order to win. You cannot win by using a "quit when you're ahead" strategy. You cannot "hit and run" and expect to win. You cannot win with a "betting system. You cannot win with "advanced bankroll management techniques." The simple fact is that if you make plays that have a negative EV you are doomed to failure. Any combination of negative EV bets that you make will lose in the long run; it is a mathematical certainty!

This is what you are looking for; the pay table (in coins) on a standard 5-coin max Bonus Deuces Wild video poker machine is as follows:

ROYAL FLUSH: 4000
FOUR DEUCES W/Ace: 2000
FOUR DEUCES: 1000
FIVE OF A KIND (Aces): 400
FIVE OF A KIND (3's, 4's or 5's): 200
FIVE OF A KIND (6's thru Kings): 100
WILD ROYAL FLUSH: 125
STRAIGHT FLUSH: 45
FOUR OF A KIND: 20
FULL HOUSE: 20
FLUSH: 15
STRAIGHT: 5
THREE OF A KIND: 5

If your machine has a different MAX BET, just make certain that the ratios are the same. For example, on a 10-coin machine, the payouts should be exactly double.

Know your pay table! Differences that may appear to be trivially small can cause catastrophic differences to your EV. Check every pay on the machine and make certain it is EXACTLY what you are looking for.
