I hear ya. Video poker makes me contemplate suicide as the more entertaining route. Actually, I've used video poker to kill time while wonging. But I'm not an AP vid poker guy. I learned the hard way what payouts were good. I had memorized a pretty good break even strategy on deuces wild, so I thought. Saw some results that didn't make any sense. Royal Flush doesn't matter, 4-of-a-kind payout is what is important. At least I'm wary and more respectful of video poker now.
