Video Poker, How would you play it?

[Antonio777]

Pretty simple question, straight forward. Lets say you are playing Jacks or Better Video Poker. Your cards come up like this: . You have a Pair of 99 , not JJ or better, You also have QJ with a 2. Would you hold the99 ? or would you try the QJ ?
Playing the 99 You hit 9 or another pair and win a profit. Playing the QJ and hit one or the other a Q or a J. You break even no winnings. So how would you play this hand in Video draw poker Jacks or better?
I've played both ways at different sessions and curious of what others would do and if they have had success in playing the way they choose.

Peace,
Tony

This is a bread and butter spot, holding 99 is the favoured play, it returns nearly twice as much long term compared to QJ

Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to deal with this issue at the moment, but I will start working on it in the near future.

Me personally I would go the same way like the poster above and I would hold nine nine in this kind of spot since its the most profitable thing to do.
