Mar 12, 2013  I would also be very interested in DDB strategy. Do you have any variance numbers for this game too? Unfortunately I am not as much of a VPGenius as JB, but you can roughly piece together a DDB Strategy by using the Bonus Poker, Bonus Poker Deluxe, and Double Bonus strategies JB has listed.

FYI, there are some extra characters in the page's title line.

Interesting. It is supposed to look like this:

How does it look on your end?Like this:
Thanks, I just fixed it.

I believe there are two significant classes for DDB though for most players.
Paytables where the flush pays 6, and paytables where the flush pays 5.
If your DDB paytable pays 6 for a flush, use 8/6 Bonus Poker Deluxe strategy as a starting point (proposed changes in bold):
Basic Strategy
Full house or better
4 to a royal flush
Flush
Straight
3 of a kind
4 to a straight flush
2 pair
1 pair Aces
4 to a flush with 3 high cards
1 pair, Jacks thru Kings
4 to a flush with 0, 1, or 2 high cards
3 to a royal flush
4 to a straight — 89TJ; 9TJQ; TJQK
1 pair, 2s through 4s
4 to a straight — 2345; 3456; 4567; 5678; 6789; 789T
1 pair, 5s through 10s (biggest question mark; quad 5-10s only worth 50 in DDB vs. 80 in BDlx)
3 to a straight flush — 345; 456; 567; 678; 789; 78J; 89T; 89J/8TJ; 8JQ; 9TJ; 9TQ; 9JQ; 9JK/9QK

4 to a straight — A234/A245/A345; 789J; 89TQ
2 to a royal flush — TQ
3 to a straight flush — 246; 347/357/367; 458/468/478; 569/579/589
4 to a straight — A235; 78TJ/79TJ
3 to a straight flush — 236/256; 67T/68T/69T

Just looking at these estimated strategies, I'm sure tons of people play Ult X terribly. Who wants to hold Aces up in DDB? lol And 3 to a flush?
And for variance, JB's Video Poker analyzer will do it for a 1-hand game (but I think it uses the 10-hand multipliers):
http://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/analyzer/
9/6 DDB has a variance of 71.73/hand vs. 41.98
8/5 DDB has a variance of 70.91/hand vs. 41.99
