Been experimenting with the double down risk strategy in Jacks or Better lately. The idea is to double your bet after a losing hand to recover losses faster, but only on high-probability draws like four-to-a-flush or open-ended straights. I tracked 200 hands last week: hit a flush twice and a straight once, which offset the losses from dry runs. Variance is high, so bankroll management is critical. Anyone else tweaking their bet sizes like this? What’s your take on balancing risk vs. reward here?
