The following online video poker tips should help you improve your skills at online video poker
and, in so doing, hopefully increase the size and rate of your winnings:
1. Understand that only 21% of the hands dealt in online (or land) video
poker games are winners. The trick is to learn the best way to play the other 79%
of the hands and turn them to your advantage.
2. If you are just starting out at online video poker, play on the smaller
denomination games until you 'find your feet'. Remember the motto that 'when
playing on high denomination games, a novice online gambler and his money are
soon parted'.
3. Never play Jacks or Better online video poker games that pay less than 9
coins for a Full House or 6 coins for a Flush.
4. When playing online progressive jackpot video slots games, always, repeat, always
play the maximum bet or you won't stand the chance of winning the full
progressive amount. Also, by playing the maximum bets you'll get an additional
bonus for any Royal Flushes.
5. Play at a pace that you're comfortable with. When you play video poker
online, there are no people 'impatiently looking over your shoulder' waiting for
your machine, so you are free to take your time and examine each hand carefully.
6. Never ever hang on to a kicker (extra card) with a Pair. By doing this you'll
decrease your potential return by a staggering 5%!
7. As tough as it sounds, always break a Flush to draw to a Royal Flush.
8. However, never break a Straight to draw to a Straight Flush.
9. Never keep a kicker if your best card is less then a Jack.
10. If your online video poker game is not paying out, then go and find a new
one. There is no rule that says just because you play on a single machine for
a long period of time that it'll pay out. That belief could soon put you in the poor house!
