Hello everyone,
Just a quick question: Hypothetically speaking, if a casino offered no commission Pai Gow Poker and counted ties are true ties (i.e., AK vs AK is a tie and the hand is determined by the big hand), can a player create a mathematical advantage by using wizard of odds optimum strategy, some other optimum strategy, or otherwise? Also, for simplicity's sake, assume the player can never bank.

Thanks in advance.

With no ties for the dealer, no house edge mechanism/commission, and good play, all you'd have to do is beat the performance of the house way, in this case learning a lot of exceptions for a little gain. But that may give 0.3% or so maximum, and would be the weakest AP opportunity compared to what Teliot digs up in other games at AP Heat.
