Keep in mind that there are many different versions of video poker with many different pay-out charts. The individual payout chart, combined with the distinctions between "short-pay" and "full-pay" machines mean that each different game necessitates a different strategy in order for you to optimize your winnings. If you are a table-poker player, you also must remember that many moves which would be advisable in table poker are not advisable in many video poker games.
