Re: "Paying to Avoid Royal Flushes"
Excellent article. MaxEV strategy is a starting point but sometimes it pays to think outside of the box. You're not just playing video poker in isolation, you're playing the casino's and the taxman's metagame. A lot of people tip 1% on W2G's, so that $4000 royal is already discounted to $3960. The biggest problem with W2G's is that many casinos use them to take action (like eliminate mailers) against lucky players, such that W2G's can easily have net negative expectation. Smart players take that into consideration and adopt their strategies to fit the meta situation.
