If this was true, wouldn't it be easier to play the game face up and perhaps allow people to play two hands (although many are happy to play the second hand blind or just the sidebets on it.) every hand Q63 or lower), you only fold 27.9% of the time and the House Edge is reduced from 3.37% to 2.62% (EOR from 2.01% to 1.52%.) In summary this means, rather than folding 32.6% (i.e. Occasionally you sometimes fold good Qxx hands. If you had full knowledge of the other players' hands you should call most low hands about 19% of the time, presumably this is because you see enough high cards to make it more likely the dealer will not qualify. Has anyone else tried to work this out without running billions of simulations and analysing every hand.Īfter a bit of playing around it seems you probably always call Kxx and better.
(btw I'm not intending to take advantage, it's just a mathematical challenge.)
So I was wondering if they played it face up, how much of a problem it would be, if you knew all other people's cards (say 6 to a table, so you'd know 15 more cards than usual). Just out of interest, as I've yet to go down to my local casino, I'm wondering how they'll deal games like 3-card Poker, where Players cannot touch the cards.
