  • Don't keep an unpaired high card with a pair.
  • Do not break a straight in order to build a straight flush.
  • Never draw five if you have a "Jack or Better".
  • Can you get a royal flush by drawing 3 cards? Then don't draw more than that.
  • Always play the maximum coins. If you are uncomfortable playing five coins then drop down to a lower bet machine.
