Multistrike Poker Appendix 1
|
|
Last Update: May 11, 2003

This appendix shows the basic strategy for the Full Pay Deuces Wild version of Multistrike Poker. A Full Pay Deuces Wild game is characterized by paying 5 for a four of a kind. With optimal strategy the Multistrike version of Full Pay Deuces Wild has a return of 100.88%. This strategy was created using Frugal Video Poker, by Jean Scott and Jim Wolf. The return of this strategy should be very close to optimal, probably within about 0.02%.
The level 4 hand, and any hand after a free ride card, should be played the same as conventional Full Pay Deuces Wild. There are many sources for this strategy including my own simple strategy and optimal strategy. A variety of strategy cards are also available at Custom Strategy Cards.
This appendix shall show the level 1 to 3 strategies when the player did not get a free ride card. The level 1 strategy is for the first hand, level 2 for the second hand, and so on. The pay tables reflect the approximate expected value of each hand, including the value of all higher levels.
