Quick Quads 9/6 Double Double Bonus

Last update: Mar. 11, 2009

The following strategy is for 9/6 Double Double Bonus Quick Quads. The following return table shows that with optimal strategy the return is 99.65%.

The strategy below is more than 99.9980% accurate; meaning the cost due to errors is 0.0020%. To use the strategy, look up all viable ways to play the hand, and go with the one listed first. If a play is not listed, that means there is always a better alternative, and it should never be played. For example, if the player has 2 J Q Q A there are three viable plays: the pair of queens, three to a royal, or four to a flush. Playing a four to a flush depends on the number of high cards. A four to a flush with three high cards is not listed (because three to a royal is always better), and thus should never be played. Between three to a royal and pair of queens, the three to a royal is listed first, and thus is the better play.
