NOTI wrote: The 250-9-6 Jacks strategy is a good "under the radar" strategy, you still get around 99% return but with substantially less royals. Why would you want to purposely get less royals? Dealing with W2G's would be one reason. What's wrong with W2G's? Taxes and identity theft, for one, and heat and reduced offers, for two.
It's actually 98.37% --- which is quite a bit less than around 99%. Still, it's a valid consideration.
one reason to use this strategy is if you are picking up free play for somebody else while playing for stakes that would generate a W2G for a royal. Although some casinos tolerate you playing on somebody else's card (and some only on spouse's cards), other casinos will take revenge by kicking both of you out after paying off the jackpot. If you had a "lot" of free play (say $1,000 or more) to pick up and didn't have an hour's time to play it off on quarters, using this strategy on a $1 or $2 denomination might be a "mostly safe" alternative. (You can't play $5 unless the straight flush pays 239 coins rather than 250. Getting a W2G every 9000 hands is MUCH too often if you're trying to keep a low profile.)
Royals come about every 51,500 hands using this strategy rather than 40,000. It's not "totally" safe --- but it's safer.
