I understand and play Video Poker using the Dancer strategy. However, there is one other thing that I keep in mind when selecting a VP game. I stick to jacks, deuces wild, and maybe bonus poker. I will give you my thinking on this and would like to hear your comments.
Perfect strategy is one thing to keep in mind when playing VP, but bankroll variation is also an important factor. That is why I like to play games with the highest payback, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, ones that have decent paybacks at the low end of the paytable. If you only get payed for the less frequent hands, the bankroll disappears quickly unless you are extremely lucky right at the start of play.
I will use a ridiculous example to illustrate why the strategy is not the complete story. Assume that you have a paytable (not on any VP machine - just a mindgame here) that only pays for a particular card combination that has a 1 in a billion chance of paying off but when it pays off, it pays a trillion dollars. That would be an extremely outstanding payback, but you would never live long enough to reap the benefit. My point is that if the reward is only at the top of the paytable, you have to wait much longer for the payback and you may run out of money first.
I didn't quite get what you were trying to say.

All the poker styles are ok , but holdem and badugi are the most beautiful for me. And the only tournaments i have won were of that kind 😁 . now it s luck or ... have fun see u at the tables 😁
Same with me i like NL badugi and freerolls are the best to play i think anyways
Me I never draw attention to me, likes but to spend my money in the Tables.
But each we have our form to think. :thumbsup
