Hold the kicker or not?

What should I hold when dealt:

2 2 2 A __ ?
and the game is triple bonus poker?

I DISCARD THE KICKER. HAVING 2 PLACES TO DRAW THE 4th DEUCE IS BETTER THAN 1 PLACE. YOU NEED THAT 4th DEUCE FIRST.

There is no kicker in Triple Bonus. Do you mean Triple Double Bonus?

In Triple Double you hold kickers. In Double Double you do not. I think that's right.

Yup, that 's right. Every game is different and strategy differs based on the paytable.

Can you imagine what a thrill it would be to keep the kicker and pick up the other 2? But, it's not going to happen. You'll kick yourself for trying.
