Conservative
Video Poker Strategy
The Conservative
Strategy is for the player who is looking to
play the maximum number of hands for the least
amount of money. This is a great strategy to
use if you are looking for entertainment and are
on a limited budget. This strategy will return
a little less than the Conservative Strategy
over the long haul, but can help you in
short-term play by increasing your time at the
Online Video Poker machine.
The Conservative
Strategy is listed in a table format below.
Feel free to print it out and follow along while
playing online.
There are six hands that
if you are dealt that you should keep. The
payouts on them are high enough to keep the
hand. Those hands are:
Royal Flush, Straight
Flush, Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush,
Straight
Where you see High
Cards listed below that means one or more of
the following cards - Ace, King, Queen or Jack.
When you see Gap that means two
non-consecutive cards for example a 7 and a 9.

Using this chart is very
easy. All you do is start at the top of the
list and work your way down until you find the
very first draw that fits your hand and use it.
For example, if you are
dealt a six of hearts, a six of clubs, a six of
diamonds, a two of hearts and a jack of spades.
You would start at the top of the list until you
come to "Three of a
Kind". You would keep
the three sixes and draw two new cards.
Again, this is an excellent
strategy for the online video poker player on a
limited budget and or someone just looking to
have some fun. |
