Some points of logic differ when playing video poker and table poker.
Lets take a quick look:
In video poker you never hold a kicker (an unmatched high card). In table
poker you have to take in much more information to make that decision,
and sometimes you will keep a kicker.
Nobody goes for an inside straight in table poker, but play certain versions
of video poker and it's statistically the right move.
In video poker, a hand's value is determined solely by the machine's
pay table. In table poker you can win with absolutely nothing, if you
convince everyone else to drop out. In video poker a pair of jacks is
the same value as a pair of aces.
In table poker having a hand that is a partial royal flush is usually
not worth considering. In video poker however, a great deal of attention
is paid to the royal flush, as it's payout is disproportionate to the
rest of the hands. Video poker players spend a significant amount of time
pursuing royals, whereas table poker players only pursue a relatively
strong hand.
