Quote: IbeatyouracesNo, unless it's a progressive and the royal jackpot is HUGE. I'm sure someone can find out when to deviate.
I'd hate to disagree with you, but is it not better to toss the Queens if you have three sequential cards to a Royal such as Q-J-10 or J-Q-K but not Q-K-A?

Mission I believe you are right except for the QJT. You lose value having that ten.
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.

That rule, holding KQJ suited over KK QQ or JJ, is also only valid for DDB games where the flush pays 6 for 1. If the flush is 5 for 1, you should hold the high pair.

If you are Rob Singer you do. Look at example #13 on this page: http://alanbestbuys.com/id194.html He broke up THREE QUEENS when he had 3 to the Royal.

According to Varmenti you always go for the 3 card royal when you have a pay hand, since he is one of the smartest professional gamblers alive or dead, we may all be wrong.Quote: gleegeeIs it better to give up a pair of queens if you have 3 to the royal?
Only hold the queens if you want to come out ahead in the long run and care about value.
Alan M I hope you were being sarcastic when mentioning Rob Singer, people should get a 3 day ban for even mentioning that guys name.

question: did you have to immediately shower after that interview?
Your defiantly a professional, I don't think I could have controlled myself from calling him an absolute idiot, after he said toss out 4 , 5 , 6 ,7 for the ACE
By example 8 I'm sure violence would have broken out.

My job was to present his views. That's what I told him prior to the interview and that's what I did. I do not play his way, I stated it, and made it clear that I only wanted to give him an opportunity to have his "special plays" presented in one place so there would be a record of it. Until then, everything he ever said was in bits and pieces in Gaming Today articles and on his own website (which no longer exists) and now there is a permanent record as long as Google and YouTube exist.
Sometimes as reporters we interview people and report on things we don't agree with. I've interviewed many, many presidential candidates I didn't vote for but always gave them a fair shake. I've interviewed both sides on the abortion issue -- fairly. That's what reporters do.

In both 10/6 and 9/6 DDB with a hand such as...
10♣ J♣ Q♣ Q♦ 4♠
...the correct play is to hold the 3 to a royal.

Hmm, my strategy sheet that I play with says hold the pair.
If the 3 to the royal is a KQJ then my sheet says throw away the pair.
This is off the wiz's odds site. I print it out and play with it.
does the suit of the 4 factor in to this as a penalty card. If the 4 was a club, maybe keep the pair because keeping 3 to royal and throwing away 4 of clubs would be a penalty in maybe hitting a flush?
Its just a forum. Nothing here to get obsessed about.

In JB's example, the 4 is in spades. I'm pretty sure the Wiz's strategy says hold suited 10-J-Q over the pair in this case, but I'll double-check.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

the way I read it, is to hold QQ because of the 10. If it is JQK or QKA then you hold the 3.

You're right, thanks; the extra money card makes the difference. I think I'd have to risk it, though. It's on DW that it's correct to hold them.
