Call me Lazy, but, it may not be laziness. I just can't remember all the rules for when to break pat hands for every single common video poker game.

My reply to your post will probably offend you... so... against my better judgement,I will apologize in advance. I am one of the laziest people I know but you take it to new heights. Perhaps your just baiting us here with this question? I wouldn't say that you have a 'rule of thumb' when breaking certain hands. I suppose a case could be made for pay pairs when your playing a Progressive Royal that is at 6000 coins or better. So many pat hands or paying hands to break on so many different VP games. Something like Aces Full in Double Bonus is an easy example. The point is that you should at least have some VP program that you can just plug this information in and easily see your answer. You should have some sort of program that creates instant strategies and you will be able to see when you break straights and what not. I prefer an older program that is color coded and pretty easy to read compared to the laminated ones you can buy that uses greater and less than symbols. Those guides are difficult to read compared to a color coded list.
So basically if your too lazy to figure this out with just a few moments of work, how are you going to be able to plug hours upon hours taking roller coaster swings in VP to be able to be a winning player? I don't see how that is possible but you could prove me wrong!?

I know at least 2 guys who have memorized all the exceptions for each game, but they had to work at it. You can also use the training tool on videopoker.Com (requires a gold membership ) until you get 100 % accurate, but while they have standard paytables, they don't have all of them. Different paytables on the same game require different strategy, especially concerning pat hands.
All you probably need to know is JOB and DW strategies. DB/DDB would be bonuses. You don't need to know the differences between 15/9 and 16/10 DW, or JOB vs BP vs BPD (except for holding inside straights in BPD). Joker Poker is probably just flat out worthless to know, unless you have found a specific situation where you need to know it.
If you know a strategy, the easiest hands are the ones where you break a pat hand (except perhaps DB....but don't learn that game unless you have to, that game is stupid AF).
Of the ones I know that I can think off the top of my head....
every game I can think of -- break high pair, straight, or flush when drawing to 4 to royal (do NOT break a dealt SF, except in DW you break natural 9-K suited for the RF).
DDB, 9/7 DB, TDB -- hold AA over 2 pair, hold AAA over full house. [I think 10/7 DB you hold FH over AAA as well as 2pair over AA, but I haven't played 10/7 so IDK]
9/7 DB -- hold 4 to flush over high pair IF you have 3 high cards (or maybe 2 high cards?)
DW -- hold 222 over dealt SF
TDB -- hold 222-444 over FH
6/5 BP -- hold AAA over FH (what, you don't play 6/5 BP?)

I've posted what I'm about to repeat a few times. You can go to the WoO strategy maker and input the pay table for whatever game you're going to play, unless it's a gimmick game like UX, and get the correct strategy and all of its exceptions, wait for it......FOR FREE!!! Print them out and take them with you.

In Bob Dancers class, he recommends being discrete when using these types of charts in casinos. Has anyone ever had a problem?
Is this legal to use at a casino?
