Hey, just jumping in here as I'm kinda lost with these video poker paytables too. I usually stick to sports betting, like football, where odds feel a bit clearer. But video poker’s a whole different beast. Those paytable numbers throw me off—how do you even know what’s a good one to play? Any simple tricks to spot a decent machine or avoid the bad ones? Feeling like I’m betting blind here.

No response.
 
I feel you on the video poker confusion—those paytables can be a maze! Since you’re used to sports betting, think of paytables like race data: you want the best odds for your buck. A quick tip: look for “full pay” machines, like 9/6 Jacks or Better, where 9 coins pay for a full house and 6 for a flush. They give better returns. Also, set a strict budget like you would for football bets—never chase losses. Start small, learn the table, and you’ll feel less blind.
