If my friend plays 9/6 DDB
strategy on a 10/7 DB machine what does her return percentage fall to?
What I'm trying to figure out is it better for them to play on a 9/6 DDB
machine or a 10/7 DB machine even though they don't know the correct
strategy all of the time. I can remember in Dancer's original 10/7
publication, he said that playing JOB strategy on a 10/7 machine would
still result in a better return than JOB would the same hold true here??

JOB strategy used for DB yields about 99.63%. I believe using DDB startegy is a little better ... around 99.86%. I used WVP to compute this and so I'm not abolutely sure I did it correctly.

Still a helluva lot better than 98.98!!  Thank you shadowman

In addition, there are a few changes that could make it even better. The biggest difference between the game is the higher pay-off for flushes and straights. Hence, you keep many 3 card flush combinations (like K54) and 4-card inside straight combinations (like J987 and A235) with one high card.
