Real Poker vs Video PokerRemember about the differences between real and Video Poker. If you possess deep knowledge about real poker and its versions (Hold'em, Stud, Oasis etc), forget everything except the hand rankings. These are totally different games with a common name and combinations of cards. Everything else goes under a different scenario. Very often, inexperienced fans of video poker overestimate the role of Aces. In most Video Poker games, an Ace is not the best card in a deck. Payouts for a pair of Aces are same as for a pair of Jacks, in Video Poker you do not need to beat a rival but it's far more complicated to get a Straight with an Ace rather than with lower cards. It's just that an Ace takes its place in such combinations as 10, J, Q, K, A or A, 2, 3, 4, 5. On the other hand every 10 or J offer much more variants for a Straight. Which is why usually it pays to get rid of Aces and hold lower cards that involve more win odds. Get rid of kickers. Kickers or side cards are the cards that do not participate in completing a winning combination but it can be used to break the ties between hands of the same rank. For example, the combination of K, K, 9, 5, 4 is ranked as a pair of kings where 9, 5 and 4 are kickers or side cards. In real poker, the kickers help to break ties between hands of the same rank. Thus, among two combos K, K, 9, 5, 4 and K, K, 9, 8, 4, the second one will be a winning combination, since its 8 kicker outranks the 5. In Video Poker kickers are of no value and you are always supposed to discard them since they lessen your odds to complete a higher winning combo. The ranking of combinations is solely determined by the paytable. The pair of queens or jacks equals to the pair of aces, collecting any of those combinations you get the same payout, so you do not need to establish any preferences in terms of higher or lower cards. There are many other strategies about how to win in Video Poker, but they only can help you increase your win odds and you should never forget that there is always high presence of randomness in any Video Poker game.
