Hi -
Suppose I know what exactly one of my three cards is going to be and still have the opportunity to make or remove my wager.
What are the house edges for each possible rank of the seen card, for both the ante bet and the pairplus bet?
I would expect a high card to give me better odds on the ante bet, and I would expect everything to be the same for the pairplus bet except K,A,2 should be slightly worse as there are fewer possible straights.
What if I saw two cards.. what is the cutoff for betting on the ante/pairplus?

Having bet card information on three card would be huge.
Grosjean has a table in his book, beyond counting stating the edges for a ton of possible situations, including the edge versus a known dealer card, and the edge for knowing one of your cards based on basic strategy, or OCP strategy.
Knowing one of your cards is an ace and nothing else gives you over a 60% edge. If you know you got an ace coming, bet table max!
