Hi all. I've recently switched to playing video poker as my main game (from blackjack) but I'm starting to think I jumped ship a little prematurely - I had a real hot streak, winning £200 playing double double bonus after starting with just £3.60 won in a 90min freeroll at Go Wild and have been pretty hooked ever since ..
At the moment my favourites are double double bonus and all american, mainly for the high payouts on 4 of a kind / straight flush. I do like the multi hand games but at the moment I can't seem to find the right balance between bet size and number of hands - if I play 50 play for example, get trips to start, then when I draw the payout is really terrible even if I get a few 4 of a kinds .. of course I do realize it may well take me 50 hands of 1-play to see those same 4 of a kinds but they would pay 50 times more which is a whole lot more exciting!
My big problem right now is it doesn't seem to matter which variation I play, the overall trend is that my balance just goes down, down, down ... forever hoping for a decent hit to bring me back up. The double or nothing feature is always too tempting too and I'm forever losing moderate wins despite only trying a single double ..
Would like to hear from some VP regulars, if you play a lot of VP, how does your balance normally play out over an evening? And where is your favourite place to play?
Thanks !
