     Couldn't find any info on wizardofodds, but should wheel poker change your strategies somewhat? For instance, in double double bonus, should you now just hold a single high paying pair (JJ, QQ, KK) when dealt two pairs instead of trying for the full house? Since there is now a bonus for 4oak, I would consider only holding the high paying pair now, including AA as before by themselves. 
 
     Furthermore, I believe the wheel bonus may even affect full house holds as well as some others deals. I'd really like to see if anyone has run some software on this game.

On the Wheel DDB on this site, as you suggested, a pair of Aces is obviously better than a pair of Jacks thru Kings and both are better than holding two pair.  However, there is very little difference in the EV of holding a non-ace high pair vs. two pairs (about 2 cents per hand when playing a $ machine).The EV is always better when you break up a dealt full house and draw to the trips hoping for a wheel spin.  If the trips are 5s thru Kings, the additional EV is only about 4 cents per hand, so the difference there is not too dramatic.Both of these plays increase the variance a lot more than they increase the EV, but of course you get more shots at the Wheel. 

Thank you to whoever was able to get the game on the site!  I love it! I really did not think you could ever get it on the site because of the wheel or how you would do it, but you did.
 
It was actually this very game that drew me to this site to begin with. I had busted out playing it (thats how addicted to it I am) but still wanted to play and whala I found this site.
 
So Webman if it was you Thank you! If not please thank the powers that be. Love the way the wheel comes down

Once I put a pix on forum through photo bucket and believe the TP means thumb print as in postage stamp size but that was all I could produce, as well. Probably something to do the pix and my computer and my lack of savvy. Careful faygo, you are still sounding like a Michigander!
