Not trying to duplicate a recent thread, but really wanted to see poll data around this. If all things were equal would you prefer playing a Pai Gow Poker game where:
1. Cards are face-up showing you exactly how your hand needs to be set (can't screw it up)
2. Cards are face-down, giving you a real decision as to how you set your hand.
Assume both versions have a similar edge, not trying to compare the existing games, but whether players want the "perceived edge" or the "interesting decision".

People in this forum are big-brained and do not represent the average "degen" gambler, so I assume 75%+ of people who vote will vote for Face-Down because they prefer strategy. This may or may not correlate with the real opinion of typical casino customers.
