Thanks for making the point even more obvious. Anyone asking the question doesn't want an answer that tells them how to be perfect. They just want something simple to give them a better chance.
In Blackjack it would be like someone asking you if they should split a pair and you tell them all about learning how to count down an 8 deck shoe.
By the way there used to be a website that gave you the EV's of a lot of games when using other strategies. I just can't find it right now.

Agree, and it's probably a good bit less than 1/4 of a percent. If you play 9/6 Bonus Poker Deluxe with a perfect 9/6 JOB strategy, it reduces the EV from 99.64% to 99.61%.
These kind of calcs are easy to do. You just need a pay table with hand frequencies accurate to 5 significant figures. These kinds of tables can be found in VPW, DRA-VP, and WinPoker, among others. To analyze the question in Bob's column, you'd just start with a table of 9/6 JOB frequencies and change the Quad pay from 25 to 80 and the 2-pair pay from 2 to 1. Then multiply each pay times its corresponding frequency and add up the 10 terms. Your answer should be 99.61%.
