VIDEO POKER IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES.  I HAVE A FEW BASIC TIPS TO GO BY. WHEN HOLDING A PAIR ALWAYS DISCARD THE KICKER. WHEN HOLDING A STRAIGHT  DONT GO FOR THE FLUSH. WHEN HOLDING A JACK OR BETTER NEVER DRAW 5 CARDS. FOLLOW THESE FEW AND SIMPLE RULES AND YOU WILL SEE REWARDS. ALWAYS MAKE SURE BEFORE YTOU START THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE PAYTABLES FOR EACH GAME.  THERE IS NO RUSH…. TAKE YOUR TIME…REMEMBER IF YOUR PLAYING FROM YOUR HOUSE IN YOUR JAMMIES RELAX… TAKE A SMOKE BREAK..THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT.
