    The best way to use the Double Up feature is to not use it at all. It increases the variance with no effect on the expected return ("payback").

    I don't use it, but if I had to, I would only use it when I have two pairs, and draw, and then fail to get a full house.

    Dear Dan and fellow Video Poker Player, Thanks for your suggestion, I have tested it several times and realised that the more you DOULE UP in VP, the more it become aggressive ( more swinging of up and down) and this will ruin you bank roll and finish you quickly.
