Ted,
I would think that they recently released Optimum Video Poker v.3. from Dan Paymar would fit the bill. To know for sure, you could download the demo version and give it a test drive from his website here:

If the above hand is a typical example of your choices, this is a tad beyond the definition of tweaking. I could see altering a strategy slightly to go for a premium hand like quad bullets, but in your example above, choosing the ace over the pair of hookers is a monumental error. In fact, in your exact hand, holding the lone bullet is the 9th best hold you could choose from the initial deal. If playing the 9-6 DDB for dollars, and you make this hold your cost is $5.0087 if the 3 is not suited to the ace, and $5.0376 if it is. You have now forfeited your entire bet on the hand before you hit the draw button. If you are making these types of tweaks, you might as just mail a check for the session bankroll to the casino and stay home for some must see TV.
