Tips for Dice Poker?

[Splitz-]

Dice poker is really only fun to me for the gambling aspect but are there any tips for being actually good at it? There are so-called "master dice players" in the game and I cant fathom why seeing as the game is etirely chance based. At least with fist fighting or arm wrestling you get better as you do it more but dice is always the same. Roll - see what you get based on the dice gods- Roll again - see if the gods smile on you that day.

Doing the quests for poker are kinda boring cuz theres no real way to win consistanly. Play them over and over again till you win and get the next player...

As far as I figured it's just pure chance so all you can do is:
1. Dont throw the dice too far or you lose them.
2. Pay attention to what the opponent has if has a good hand dont raise.

Although dice poker is bases on chance and luck, there seems to be "cheaty" ways to get your luck raised in a game.
You should search for some tutorials on dice poker in Witcher 2 on YouTube. They're all better in describing how to do it than I am.

Whenever you get two or three of the same number, keep those dice and reroll the rest. Even if you have two pairs, just keep the highest pair and reroll the rest. Going for three-of-a-kind gives you the highest chance to win I've found.

Try going for higher numbers as those are worth more. If the opponent has three-of-a-kind of a higher number, just pass.

If you have a better hand than your opponent and they only have a pair or something crappy, you can raise, otherwise just stick with low bets.

Witcher 2 only lets you play one round, which removes some of the strategy the dice game in the first game had, but there are still ways to maximize your chance of making a profit.

Also. The witcher wiki has a pretty good guide for dice poker. http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Dice_poker_in_The_Witcher_2
