Pair Of Kings Pair Of Jokers

Sep 10, 2010 Pair of Jokers Mon, Nov 29, 2010 30 mins Boomer and Brady play practical jokes on the islanders to teach them the concept, but their plan backfires. A “full house” consists of three of a kind plus a pair. The hand above is called “kings full of tens” because the player has three kings and two tens. The rank of the card in the three-of-a-kind is decisive, so K♣ K♥ K♠ 10♣ 10♠ beats 10♣ 10♥ 10♠ K♣ K♠. In poker jargon, a full house is also known as a “boat”.

This page provides what I believe to be the absolute best strategy for playing Joker Wild video poker. By using the strategy listed on this page you can achieve a payout percentage of 100.64% at a full pay Joker Wild game. Make sure to remember that this strategy was devised for full pay Joker Wild games, which use the following pay table:

The pay table above assumes that you're betting five coins per hand. If you bet less than five coins per hand the natural royal flush will pay out less, and your return will go down. Also, if you're playing a different Joker Wild pay table this strategy will be good, but not perfect.

Expert Joker Wild Strategy

Here is how you should use the chart below:

1. Choose the proper chart depending on if you have 0 Jokers or 1 Joker
2. Start at the top of the chart and work down.
3. When you see a hand that matches up with yours, follow that strategy.

Example: Imagine you have Ac-Kc-Kh-8c-2c. In this case, you'd match up with a few rows on the table below. Your hand would qualify for a high pair of Kings, an AK suited with one penalty (the other King is a penalty card), and four to a flush. However, on the table you'll notice that a pair of Kings is higher than AK suited or a four flush, so you should keep the Kings and ditch the other three cards.

Strategy for Hands with No Joker

Here are the rankings for every Joker Wild hand that does not have a Joker. Remember, find the highest match on the list for your hand and hold those cards. The middle column shows the expected return for the specific hand. In the example column, h = Hearts, s = Spades, c = Clubs, d = Diamonds, T = Ten, s = Suited.

Strategy for Hands with One Joker

Here is the strategy chart for hands with one joker. Remember to find the highest match on the list and hold those cards. In the below table, W stands for 'Wild' and means the Joker card. We used W instead of J because J also represents a Jack.

*Penalty cards are any cards which you plan to discard that hurt your chances of completing a draw. For example, if you have 7c-9c-Jc-8s-5h and plan to keep the 7c-9c-Jc, the 8s that you're discarding actually hurts you because there is one less card in the deck that completes your straight. However, it still makes sense to discard the 8s because you have better expected return going for the straight flush than to draw to the inside straight.
