Jacks or Better

Below you can get a simpel and easy to use Jacks or Better Video Poker strategy. You should know that it's possibel to use a "better" strategy then this one. But those "better" strategies are a LOT harder to use and a mistake trying to use the more complicated strategies will cost you the very small difference and more - so I recomend that you use this simpel strategy. And its not bad at all - expected return with this strategy is of 99.46%. Compared to much more complex startegies the simple strategy will cost 0.08%, or one total bet every 1178 hands. So its almost nothing - especialy not if you make mistakes with the more complex strategies.

To use the strategy look up all viable ways to play an initial hand on the following list and elect that which is highest on the list. A "high card" means a jack or higher.
