I saw a new game being played in Vegas, Three Card Poker. It reminded me of three card guts. It looks like this is a bad game for the player but I wanted to see what you thought. It appears to be similar to Carribean Stud Poker.
I have read Frank Scoblete's book Beat the Craps out of the Casino. I tried the doey don't system once and got some funny looks from the dealers. Can this system really work? I haven't really tried it since but I'm considering trying it again.
Thanks,
Mike
Dear Mike:
Three-Card Poker comes in with house edges just over two percent on its three bets. While this isn't a huge edge, the game is fast and you can get in 90 decisions an hour. That can hurt. The proper playing strategy is very easy -- mimic the dealer. For more information I refer you to my book Bold Card Play: Best Strategies for Caribbean Stud, Let It Ride, and Three Card Poker. You can order directly from Amazon.com by clicking on this link.
Playing the Doey-Don't is not anywhere near as important as employing the 5-Count. You can utilize the traditional pass and come to keep the house edge low but always, always use the 5-Count.
All the best in and out of the casinos!
Frank Scoblete
