Whoa!

 

3 to a Royal instead of 4 to a Flush is almost ALWAYS correct to hold. There are some exceptions when penalty cards mean you technically should hold 4 to a Flush, but you could ignore those exceptions always without it costing you much at all.

 

The most common mistake made in Jacks or Better [especially at InterCasino due to dodgy autohold rules - sigh] is holding 4 to outside straight instead of a low pair. Holding the pair is a MUCH better play.

I forgot to mention, take flush over 3 to royal if the royal contacts Ace and 10.

 

I wasn't comparing low pair with an inside straight draw, I was talking about just an inside straight draw itself. People chase this when it's better to completely discard. 4 to inside straight is only worth taking if it contains at least 3 high cards to at least improve the payout if the straight misses but a high pair hits.

where can I get a good strategy guide for jacks or better?

 

I think Wizard's guides are solid? wizardofodds.com/videopoker

 

I was using them for a bit but then bought a program. I think the mistakes people make trying to play 'optimal' aren't worth the minuscule difference from Simple rules.

Jack or better is among one of the different variants of Video poker game played wold wide. This is a variant in which payoffs starts at a pair of Jacks or Better, giving return of 99.5%. Here are few strategies to play a good game:-

 

1.It is advisable that you hold any three cards to a royal flush and straight flush.

2.Always hold 10, J, Q or K with same or separate suits.

3.When you are dealt with four unsuited card hand, prefer to keep any three and discard the rest.

It is consisting two pairs flush, straight, etc. Jacks or Better is one of the common rules amongst most types of Poker games that are played with some exceptions in the new variations of Poker that are played at casinos.
