In Texas Holdem Bonus, you often see 1-2 other people's hands pre-flop. Also you can roughly determine when some of the dealer's outs are gone based on other players' betting and reaction. How much of an effect do you think these have on the 2.04% house edge, on average?

It might help you on some of the borderline hands,but overall it`s not going to help much.

If I've seen that someone else has paired the top card on the flop, I consider that to be worth noting.

That's what I'm thinking. Or if you have a hand like 9-3 and notice your neighbor also has a 9, you should probably fold. Things like that can help a lot.

You don’t get much edge from other knowledge of other player’s cards in Texas Hold’Em Bonus. There are probably a few rare cases where you might fold a weak pre-flop hand (like 74o) if your cards are copied too many times. And maybe there’d be a few rare cases where you’d be better off checking a draw, but the info just doesn’t help much.

Even knowing all other players cards which would be 12 cards is not enough to overcome the house edge.Casinos that worry about players seeing each others cards
In this game are wasting their time.The basic strategy for this game is so complicated that no one plays it perfect,so the low house edge is in theory only,as most players make many mistakes.
