my friend thinks one dealer card exposed gives a player a 5% edge over the dealer. seems like quite the swing since you'd really only be able to take advantage of the few times the card exposed isn't an akq AND you have queen high but worse than q64 you'd bet anyway.

how big of an advantage do you gain exposing one card as the dealer? could I deal this game ask for 4% back from player wins and have an edge?

Wach,

I had understood the advantage somewhat differently; if you know the dealer has a 2-J (40/52) you take away some of the disadvantage of having to act first. The thing that kills you in 3CP is having to fold or raise before the dealer shows their cards. If you know at least one card is a non-qualifier, it's a safer bet for you to stay on a bad hand yourself (always raise on 2-J is the advice), because the house pays your ante and pushes your play if they don't qualify, without you having to beat the dealer to get that pay (you can stand on 5-4-2 offsuit and win money against jack high). Of course, either of the two cards you can't see or the hand as a whole can still be qualifiers and you will lose both ante and play bets, but knowing one still turns the game from house edge to player's edge. You can also know to fold a lower qualifier, as you said, but the advantage is there for any type of hand, not just in limited situations.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

3.48% if you can differentiate the paints and you don't confuse aces with low cards.

AHH yes I think a lot of people fool themselves BELIEVING they can see cards they cant which would account for the horrible results people were reporting. people were losing after many hours of play on a 3.5% advantage. After hearing of many guys having bad results ran searched Google for "who's having bad results on 3 card poker" and I ran into this http://apheat.net/2013/01/09/hole-carding-three-card-poker-random-walks-ror/

I believe when state line first got this game dealers were hand pitching the cards. Some of them were very sloppy often times you could see 2 and possibly 3.

I've seen two cards once and as luck would have it, it was two 7's! Luckily for me I had a garbage hand. Oh and this was with the flush mounted shufflers.

Do you hole card 3cp often? If so are you doing well? Are you finding many opportunities?

I used to HC 3CP, but like many, I no longer do. The variance is crazy. There are better games out there.

When the casinos got wise and started straightening out the dealers many people who were playing profitably in the beginning got stubborn and refused to quit playing, Those are a lot of the losers. People grossly underrate the cost of errors in that game.

Yeah, if you run the numbers through a computer simulation that's what you get.

I'm not quite as certain about this as others. The reason being that players tend to send the
cards back to the dealer in poker hand order. That has a noticeable effect on the true odds
in a hand shuffled game using no stripping and few riffles.

Now, the general assumption is that shuffling machines mostly used with 3 CP randomize the
card order so this doesn't happen. I'm not so sure. Those devices are far from perfect.
Several types of shuffling machine have been proven to have exploitable non-randomness
by people with credibility like Persi Diaconis.

The danger with an over-reliance on computer simulation is that you get the wrong numbers
by making incorrect assumptions. It would be nice to see some actual data from others collated
on the card distribution, under real casino conditions. On the basis of the limited data sample
I've collected, my guess is there is some effect of the order of tenths of a %, but it is just a guess.

(Please no one start lecturing me about SD, I know. I am actually above expectation at 3CP
anyway, so negative flux is not my personal concern).

No different than if you figure out every possible computation of players hand, dealers hand and flashed HC. Comes out to 3.48%.

Here's a question I haven't seen an answer for. What are the dealer qualification percentages on each flashed 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or jack seperately?


No fair asking questions when I need to sleep. If someone doesn't answere by the time I get up, Excel and I will have a date. :+)

I'm guessing they'd each have to be less than 66% in order to play trash hands. Its not super important, just more of a curiosity. So sleep all you wish :)


2,j: 750/1275 (about 58.8%)
3,10: 765/1275 (60%)
4 to 9: 780/1275 (about 61.2%)

Of course, monte carlo analysis and combinatorial analysis should give you the same results.

The point was that the figure may not be 3.48% under actual casino conditions.

Only because under real play conditions, you won't see every possible senario without duplication first. I've personally had AKQ of spades twice but never had AKQ of diamonds yet and I've played well over 22,100 hands of TCP.



LOL. He's talking about Shufflemaster voodoo and spaceships changing the order of the cards from mathematical models.

Grosjean completely discredited such a bias in BC-II. I explained the issue in this post: Three Card Poker and the Ace Shuffler Hole-Carding Bias

You have stated repeatedly that you can't get a copy of BC-II and begged for one publicly like a lovesick schoolgirl, so I'm mystified how you would know this. The frequency with which you refer to your boy crush is becoming tedious. Grosjean's circle always made it very clear they despised you, and that's putting it very kindly.

The hypothesis in question is not addressed by your article in any case. This post http://www.beyondcounting.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=488 summarizes the hypothesis I'm talking about.

It is trivial to prove this phenomena exists in manual shuffle games.

Experiment:

Order a deck cards in poker hand order.

Perform n number of riffles, with minimal or no stripping.

Take data on initial and post-shuffle card order.

Test for statistical significance.

Observe that the cards stay in close proximity with more frequency than pure chance would dictate.

This is very different from gambler's fallacies to do with biased RNG's, TARGET and all that crap, this is a genuine scientific phenomena that exists at 3CP in those casinos where they don't use shuffling machines. It is the basis of the AP technique known variously as ace location, card location or sequencing.

Now, perhaps the shuffling machine thoroughly randomizes the cards. Perhaps it doesn't. Perhaps people who brag about this amazing 3.48% edge they know at GC parties, should maybe consider whether it actually exists first.

So you tried the game and got destroyed. That's not proof aliens are inside Shufflemasters conspiring against you. Play better games. And pay attention to Grosjean. He's a far better source than you.

You obviously didn't read the part where I said "I won above expectation at 3CP", or anything else for that matter.

If Grosjean is such a great source, why are you trying to sell his book currently?

You have never and will never get to have sex with anything organic.

I have ignored you for the best part of twelve years. I posted maybe a dozen times recently, mainly in response to an article you wrote about me on your website.

If that's the case, then perhaps his website would be the best venue to discuss the matter with him and/or make insults. PM is also an option available to you.

I'm not, the indication of success is the fact that he made six figures and knows he can invest that well enough to retire.

Just to help you , six figures spans 100,000 - 999,999. My career as an ap was over 25 years. The info I used from BC was over 3 years of that while I played other games as well. And any indication of success is better than no indication of success, as in your case, isn't it?
