3 Card Poker Strategy

[vegas40]

Three card poker strategy is to raise on Q/6/4 or better. Simply put , this means if your best card is a queen and your next best card is higher than a 6, you should raise. If your 2nd best card is a 6, then raise if your 3rd card is a 4 or 5 only.

You should raise on Q/6/4 or higher because if you raise on Q/6/3 you can expect to lose 1.0026 chips. This is slightly more than the single chip you will lose by folding. But if you raise on Q/6/4 the expected loss is 0.9933 chips, putting the odds very slightly in your favor to take the hand.
