Of course it is. If you change the paytable, that would change the MCR strategy? Well, a constant kickback is the same as changing the paytable, you simply add it to each payoff as well as the null payoff. If the net return is less than 100%, you need to play more aggressively for the royal, if the net return is over 100%, you can afford to play less aggressively for the royal and instead maximize the return of the non-royal hands. The 0-9-6 strategy maximizes the return of the non-royal hands. If you are getting enough "kickback" (over about 1%), you can afford to play it. Of course, if you can't get enough kickback, then you have to go for the royal and take some loss from the non-royal hands, essentially if you are playing negative, time is not on your side. The better alternative would be to not play and to invest instead in scouting for better situations to get your bankroll in. Scouting after all is practically free, sometimes you can even make a little from the no-play required handouts casinos offer.
