Hello everyone, tonight I quickly made a demo for the game Six Card Poker on my table games website. You can play it here. Has anyone come up with a more advanced strategy than the intermediate strategy on the Wizard of Odds website?

I noticed that the side bet pay tables found on the Sycuan Casino's website are different from the Wizard of Odds' website. I calculate the house edge on their two way bad beat to be ~0.15% higher and the house edge on their Aces Up is about 1% lower than the Wizard of Odds pay tables. I included both on my website.

As a side note, I noticed that Sycuan Casino has a game called Double Hand Baccarat which I have never heard of. Has anyone heard of it or analyzed it?

Have a good night!

Well obviously in Six Card Poker you should fold a pair when Dealer is showing the same pair as you but with a lower kicker such as:

Player: AA- 7632

Dealers board: AA-6

even though a rigorous adherence to the intermediate strategy would suggest one should make a Play bet.

There will probably be several such exceptions. It's fun to try to conjure up what they might be.

I haven't done the math yet but I wonder if you fold an underpair vs a SF draw such as in this extreme situation:

Player: 2d2c-7h5d4c

Dealer: QsJsTs

I refer to this as an extreme situation because the players pair is as weak as possible (22 pair) and the player's hand is defined to have no flush-blockers or straight-blockers.

In your 6CP demo game there is no way to reduce or eliminate your previous wagers on the sidebets (Aces Up and Two Way Bad Beat). When you choose New Bet the previous wagers on the sidebets remain and can only be increased and not decreased.
