I am far from an expert on video poker. However, at times
I am asked questions and/or try to explain some basic questions
about VP to someone who knows even less than I do. I want to
use this opportunity to ask how some of you would best explain
certain fundamental to a beginner.
My first question is how do you explain why you follow a
specific play strategy? If the expected return is the theoretical
return you can expect from a game if you play it correctly for
the long term, why do you use this same strategy in the short
term? In other words, once you discuss how long the long term
might be, how do you rationalize why you also play the same
strategy in the short term? Is it accurate to give the answer
that even thought many people might only play a game for the
short term, the perfect long term strategy play is still the
best guess for the short term? and this is the reason you do
not deviate from the perfect long term play strategy in the
short term.
I am looking for the best simple statement as to why each
hand dealt has only one hold for the short term also. I
understand that some hands can have equal expected long term
expectation. If so, a related question would be how do you
explain and discrimination between two hands of equal expected
long term results?
Again, I am hoping for the best simple explanation that a
beginner might understand, or at least, might logically accept.
Thank,
Bob
