Jacks or Better Tips

  • Maximize your bets if you can. This gives you the best payouts per round of play.
  • Don’t consider keeping a high-ranking unmatched card when you only have a Pair. You’re not playing against other players or the Dealer, so there is never a tie. Keeping this card will minimize your options for building better winning hands.
  • There is a definite controversy about holding Two Pairs. Some players think you are sacrificing the possibility of drawing Three- or Four-of-a-Kinds, which have vastly higher payouts. Some players, however, prefer to hold both Pairs, anticipating building a Full House. Try both strategies and see what works for you.
