 A sound foundation for VP play August 14, 2001
If you are learning to play the game, or want to learn a new version of VP, this is a great place to start. Good explanations as to the "why's" of the correct plays, and sound strategies for many common games.
Simply indispensable December 9, 2000
My dog-eared copy is the first book I ever bought on Video Poker and it remains the most comprehensive guide available.
Excellent resource for the beginner! November 19, 1999

Paymar's book outlines an excellent approach to learning VP for the beginner. The optimum play strategies he uses yield close to perfect results with relatively little effort. The book is straightforward, yet also includes enough tables to serve as a useful resource once you learn the rudiments. I agree with the reader who stated that lack of a double bonus strategy is a weakness, but one can learn that fairly easily after the Jacks or Better strategy is mastered. Overall, the finest VP book for the beginner ever written.
Great Book -- Highly Recommended! April 5, 1999

Playing video poker is far different from standard card based poker. This book explains what are the proper cards to hold and why. Do you draw ro an inside straight or hold a low pair. Read this book and you will know -- instead of just guessing.

Video Poker - Optimum Play covers everything you need to know about the best game to play in a casino. Dan Paymar covers basic strategy for Jacks-or-Better, Deuces Wild and Joker Poker, and includes quizes for each of these games that will test your knowledge. If you think that you know Video Poker (VP), try taking these quizes before reading the book. You may be very surprised by your score!The book also contains several tables which give the expected value (EV) for each pre-draw hand for the three games listed above, as well other tables that provide the probability of hitting a royal flush in the different games (or the four deuce mini-jackpot in Deuces Wild) before your bankroll runs out. If you want to count on luck alone, don't look at these tables. However, if you want to use all the knoweldge available to the pros in your recreational play then this book is for you. The only shortcoming of this book is that it does not cover optimal play rules for Double Bonus Poker, even though this is one of the games the book recommends because of the over 100% possible payback. Given that full-pay Joker Poker machines are becoming scarce, it would be better to spend more of the book on this widely available alternative. If you are going to use the strategy outlined in the book, it would be worthwhile to invest in the pocket sized strategy cards that Dan Paymar has developed. Good luck, and draw a Royal for me!
