Double Down Stud
The Double Down Stud machine looks something like a Jacks-or-Better, but it operates quite differently. The unique characteristic is that it deals only four cards, and you have the option of doubling your bet before the fifth card is dealt. There is no draw; any payoff is made as soon as the fifth card is shown. Double Down Stud requires almost no skill. With no discarding and only one card to come after the initial wager, the analysis is much simpler than for the other online poker, Obviously you should double if you have any pay made in the first four cards. Even if you have only a pair of sixes the worst you can do is break even. The only question, then, is: How good a hand do you need to double when no pay is made in four cards?
The obvious answer is to double whenever the expected value exceeds one. Let’s look at a hand to see how this is done. Suppose I we are dealt J-Q-4-4. There are 48 cards remaining unseen, of which there are three each jacks and queens to make two pair for an EV of (3+3)/48x3 = 18/48. There are also two more fours td make three-of-a-kind for an EV of 2/48x4 = 8/48. The total EV is only 26/48, which is less than one, so we don’t double.
Flush Draw
A flush draw means that all four of the first four cards are the same suit. An open-ended straight draw means any four in sequence with no gap, 2-3-4-5 through IO-J-Q-K. There are two types of zilch hands; those with a pair of deuces through fives, and those with no pair and no straight or flush cards cheats possibilities. The baby pair hand might look good, but at only 26/48 payback as shown , it’s a big loser. The other zilch hands have an average EV of only 12/48.
The best zilch hand is A-K-Q-J (not all the same suit). There are twelve cards that will make a high pair (worth two), and four that will make a straight (worth six), for a total payback of 48. Doubling on a break-even bet merely increases your bankroll fluctuations (but a slot club rebate would make it a slightly positive play). Anything less than these four high cards will have a lower payback. Of course even the worst possible hand, 2-3-4-7 (not suited), could improve to a payoff by making a pair of sevens, but its EV is only 3/48. My analysis of this card game shows a

Si vous tenez une paire de reines, une dont également les "marques vous quatre-rincent". Vous vous ouvrez. Le joueur sur vos augmenter de gauche, et le reste des joueurs ont stoppé. Au cas où vous dessiner au "l'éclat ou au" la paire de reines? Dans ce cas-ci, ni l'un ni l'autre. Vous êtes probablement battus et n'avez pas un bon jeu sur l'éclat. Montrer vos ouvreurs et plier sans appeler l'augmenter. Mais si trois joueurs ou plus entrent après que l'augmenter, s'ajoute peut être juste pour que vous "tachiez loin l'éclat."

long-term payback of 97.28%. Many people will double their bet on a baby pair, reducing the payback by yet another 3%. With its low payback, it’s not surprising that Double Down Stud poker gamble has not become very popular. Most players pass them by or quit after only a short try. Even the 8/5 Jacks-or-Better machines are a better play at about the same payback.
About Royal Flush
The attractiveness has been improved some by adding a progressive jackpot on the royal, but since this is strictly a five-card game with no draw, the chance of a royal flush is only four in 2,598,960, or approximately one in 650,000. If you play 650 hands per hour, your can expect to average one royal per 1,000 hours of play, but this is in the long term. And what is the "long term" for this game? I have often suggested that the long term for games is enough play to expect at least five royals. Using that same criterion, the long term for Double Down Stud poker gamble would be at least 5,000 hours of play. At 40 hours per week, that would be 21/2 years of full time play, so no one player will get anywhere near the "long term" before a large jackpot is hit.
