Recently I have been playing a lot of video poker. Although I truly believe this is a loosing battle, I continue to play anyway. Normally I play 100 handed. By sheer numbers, I assume that my odds are better, but really, they are not.

Tonight while playing Loose Deuces 10 handed inside Rushmore Casino, I was taking a different approach. Just earlier today I was in a video poker online tournament, playing this very game. I had great success with it and I was only playing four handed. I had to see if there was something between the two different numbered hands.

Instantly I struck a great hand that landed me 340 credits. A nice win when you are betting 50 credits. My play continued to take to upward direction and my mind was quickly being changed. You see, I think I simply did better because I was not risking as much.

In a game where there are no bonus rounds or special features, high wager can leave a player, feeling empty very quickly, but by minimizing the number of hands, I actually maximized my play!
