USING POKER TRAINER MODE

STRATEGY

The Poker Trainer offers 3 strategies that rank
hands according to their “winning potential”. These
strategies are:

Low Return/Risk — maximizes the total time
played with a given number of points. However, it
may not maximize your points won.

Medium Return/Risk — maximizes the total pay­back percentage with a given number of points.
You may not play as long, but you may just hit it
big!

High Return/Risk — maximizes your chances of
building a Royal Flush. It may not, however, maxi­mize your points or total playing time.

BEST HAND

Completing a hand in Draw Poker is a challenge for
every player. Often, players choose to hold the
wrong cards. The BEST HAND feature will recom­mend the highest potential winning combination by
flashing “HOLD” at the bottom of each card
involved (If the current hand is not a “good” hand,
BEST HAND will recommend to draw 5 new cards!).
The BEST HAND feature is related to the 3 strate­gies. The game ranks over 70 potential hand com­binations based on the current strategy. This “rank­ing” helps the game determine which cards to hold.
The hand rankings are unique to each Return/Risk
Strategy. The BEST HAND feature will help you to
make the best decision for holding cards!

ODDS

Draw Poker can also be played according to the
odds. Holding a card or a group of cards can
mathematically determine the odds of completing a
hand. The odds are based upon the card, suit, type
of hand, span between the cards, and probability of
occurrence. Draw Poker odds are based upon
“conditional probability”, unlike lotteries which are
pure “mathematical probability”. The Poker Trainer
will show you the odds of completing any given
hand, based upon the cards held. However, playing
the “odds” is a good way to place your bets.

DRAW POKER HINTS

1. Always keep a Low Pair.

2. Learn the different hand combinations.

3. Never keep a “Kicker”. A “Kicker” is an addition­al card held in addition to a single pair.

4. Always bet the maximum amount of points.

5. Know your odds of completing a hand!

6. Practice and test your skill by switching from
Draw Poker to Poker Trainer!
