Video Poker is often a casino game of skill – and using the straightforward combination of betting technique and mathematical understanding, can be beat.

- In any hand with a two-pair, preserve both pair and reject the odd-card.
- In any hand having three-of-a-kind preserve the three-of-a-kind and refuse the other 2 cards.
- In any hand with four with a Straight, keep all 4 Straight cards and re-draw – unless the Straight draw isn’t open-ended and the hand is having a Jack)
- In any hand having four into a Flush, retain the 4 Flush – unless of course the hand holds 3 to the Royal in which case you would draw to the Royal Flush
- In any hand with four-of-a-kind, hold almost everything since a one-card draw will not improve the cards.
- In any hand with 3 to some Royal Flush, reject almost everything else and go for that Royal – unless of course the hand is already a Sraight Flush!
