Three card Poker Strategy

I tried almost the exact same trial starting with $1000 (of play money). I used the standard strategy of never opening unless I had at least a Queen, 6, and 4 all in the same hand, as explained in the Wizard of Odds. Betting $20 on the ante and $10 on Pair Plus because the house advantage on Pair Plus is greater. Even with all this, my results were worse than that of Mosca. I didn't time it, but it wasn't long before the $1000 was GONE. I tried this several other times with similar results. I did a little better when I did NOT play the Pair Plus, but so what. As a result, I do not play 3 card poker. It's good to try things out before you actually use some real cash.
