Others have offered very valid reasons for the popularity of JoB and BP over Deuces. I play JoB often for those reasons. However, I really enjoy deuces wild and play that even more often than JoB (FP deuces or NSUD). The variance is higher than JoB, but not incredibly high (compared to things like DB, DDB, etc). Deuces strategy is a little more complicated to learn than JoB, but again, not excessively so. I like the higher EV, and frankly just find it more fun than JoB or BP. I'd suggest that you learn strategies for both. Depending on how well you are doing in mastering deuces, you might find it easier to master JoB first, then move to deuces. You might also find the strategy cards offered by Dan Paymar worthwhile - they are clearly presented and easy to use. and I suggest that you buy a software package (like Paymar's and/or Bob Dancer's) for practice at home if you haven't already done so.
Good luck and happy playing!
Bob in San Antonio.
