I was just reading The Basics of Winning Video Poker by J. Edward Allen and he says with a hand like

you would break-up the pair of Queens and hold the A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

then I read American Mensa Guide to Casino Gambling, and their video poker section says to always hold the pair over three to a royal.

Which is correct??

What game is it? If its JoB 9/6 then the QQ is better EV = 7.6827 coins on 5 coins played as opposed to 6.9611 for JQA. If its a full pay deuces wild game its the JQA with an EV = 6.4431 as opposed to 2.8011 for the QQ.
