Strategies for playing Double Joker video poker

In Double Joker video poker if a player gets all the unsuited low cards they prefer to discard all of them and play with the fresh cards. But when it comes to strategizing while playing this game, the player can even use low hands for getting an improved hand. For e.g. if a player gets Queen of Diamonds/ King of Spades/ 2 of Hearts/ /3 of Hearts/ 7 of Spades in his initial deal, then he should opt to hold the 2 and 3 of hearts. This step is helpful for the player as holding a King and Queen would have been beneficial only if there had been a pair of Jacks or better which could help to make a winning hand. But in this case the value of these cards is not very helpful and the King/Queen can possibly be enhanced to two pairs, three of a kind, four of a kind, straight or full house. Holding 2 and 3 of hearts helps the player to have an opportunity of getting Flush and Straight Flush. This implies holding 2 and 3 of hearts is a better and wise decision then holding King and Queen.
