An effective strategy for Aces and Eights requires a different approach due to the high payouts for four aces, eights, and sevens. However, here are a few optimal strategy tips you could use to get some attractive wins.
If you are holding a flush or a straight, stay in position despite having more potent draws to the royal flush.
With an open-ended straight tie or a four to a flush, go for a draw regardless of having a high pair. This is for the bigger payouts.
Hold them and anticipate pairing them as a substitute for drawing five fresh cards with two high cards in your hand.
With one high card in hand, hold and get four new cards without having to draw five.
