Synopsis

Video Poker - Optimum Play has been the best-selling book on video poker strategy for many years, yet it never becomes outdated because the basics do not change, and things that do change are updated with each printing.

Video Poker - Optimum Play contains Dan's Precision Play rules which distill the game strategy for the most popular games down to a few text-based rules, completely obviating the need to memorize a list of strategy elements in a specific order.

Now this expanded 235-page third edition includes much more discussion of a subject that's largely ignored in other video poker books; that is the tactics of advantage play. Starting with a chapter on the difference between tactics and strategy, it delves deeply into types of errors and how to avoid them, where to play, when and why to play, evaluating promotions, utilizing coupons, optimizing your play, and much more. There is necessarily more mathematics than in previous editions, but you can still get most of the value out of the book even if you skip the math.

This is the ideal starting point for everyone interested in becoming a winning player, or to just improve your chances or winning while having fun at for favorite games. It works hand-in-hand with Dan's Optimum Video Poker software (available separately) to guide you to become a highly skilled advantage player.

About the Author:

Dan's interest in video poker began in 1988 shortly after he moved to Las Vegas. His first endeavor was to survey the casinos and publish a directory of favorable video poker opportunities. Not satisfied with the strategies then available, he put his computer experience to use, analyzed the games, and published his results in the predecessor to this book, Video Poker Precision Play. The book evolved and expanded, going through many revisions as new games began to appear and questions about how to play them arose. Now out of print, the tenth edition was the last version before this book.

Dan retired to Farmington, New Mexico, in 2004, but he and his wife still go to Las Vegas about three times a year to visit with old friends and play video poker. His primary interest is continuing development of his analysis and training software while sharing his knowledge and information with others through his various publications.
