I think those all have too many "your" 's I would drop the 2nd Your. It's redundant.

To make it clear only one hand pays a bonus... I think this one is clearest.

What about adding something where you have to have 5 cards total to have your bonus, like in real Poker. So in other words, if you have two territories left and you happen to have a pair, you'd have to get 3 more territs along with the pair to get your bonus of 4.

I am pretty sure this will not happen.

1) I don't know if yeti wants to code it
2) There is no room to explain it.

How about "Your only bonus is your best hand"? (I'm not wild about the double 'your' either, but I think something like "Only your best hand pays bonus" is a bit too clipped)

I do think it's important for the word "bonus" to come as close to the front of the sentence as possible, making it more prominent to the new player searching the map for some sort of direction.

These were taken off due to readability. One of the older versions has them.

Just FYI. Yeti is gone for the weekend so he cannot make the final call on the text. I will wait for him to decide before I make changes.

Yeah.. I think I like this one the best so far...

Think you need an apostrophe though to be grammatically correct.

I still think the double "your" is redundant, poor grammar, unnecessary, and redundant. :twisted:

I think one of these two would be preferable...

We've taken all the suggestions and gone for this one.

It conveys all the messages we want - and is succint enough to not be too wordy.

Yeah - so I was thinking the other day - why doesn't someone make a poker map...

It would be really cool - you could have all the combinations of all the hands and shit.
