With you having 3 aces there is only one suit left for the dealer to copy you on the high hand with a "natural royal" since you have the joker. And of course you cant lose or tie on the low hand because you have 3 of the A's. But thats just my 2 cents.

I had asked this above but it was my first post in the forums, so maybe went unnoticed. I only bring it up again since this question made the latest "Ask the Wizard" post on WOO.

As a newbie, I don't presume to be the "perfectionist" to second guess the Wiz. I am just trying to understand the numbers offered as well as the game PGP. So in the case described above, AWQJT - AA, The Wiz says there are three suits left for the dealer's royal. I would have thought there is only one left, that of the remaining Ace? The AA low hand doesn't somehow play as "community cards" like the board in Hold'em does it. I thought in PGP everybody played their own 7 cards?

If so, wouldn't the odds of tie with the wild royal be even lower by factor of 3?

You're right. 3 of the 4 suits are definitely eliminated since you're holding their aces in this case. Only one suit remains for the dealer to get the royal in and copy your 5 card hand.

Yes, it will push the Dealer for the Ace-remaining Royal. and AAAA* + KK will push Dealer 2233x + KK. "It cannot lose" is different than "it always wins". To err is human. To air is Jordan. To arrr is pirate.
