A valuable tool when playing video poker games online, strategy charts offer a visual guide for making optimal decisions based on your dealt hand and game rules. Moreover, it empowers you to make well-informed choices, aiming to increase potential payouts while reducing the house edge.

Entails assessing your initial hand in online video poker. By determining which cards to retain and which to discard, you can aim for stronger combinations. 

• Jacks Or Better Strategy

Hold onto four cards to a straight or a flush. Keep three cards to a royal flush. Always hold a pair, and if you get one, swap out the other three cards. If you've got three cards to a straight flush, hold onto them. If none of those apply, hold any jacks and any cards higher than a jack.

• Double Bonus Strategy

Hold onto any three or four cards to a flush. Don't discard pairs, even if they're low value. Hang onto a single high card if you get one. If your hand doesn't contain any pairs, it's time for a complete discard.

• Deuces Wild Strategy

Four deuces make the best hand, so keep all four if you get them. With three deuces, only keep the entire hand if it could make a royal flush or five of a kind. If you're deuce-less, hold onto any paying hands. Keep three cards to a royal flush if you have them. If none of these apply but you have a pair, hold onto that pair.
