Strategy for playing Joker video poker
Remember that only K and A are high cards: this is a Kings or Better game.
Keep a Joker if you get it. You'll only see it once in ten hands, on average.
Don't keep an inside Straight.
Straight Flushes are a good payer and they occur considerably more frequently than in a game like Jacks or Better.
