Three Card Poker calculate pair plus house edge

Hello all

I am trying to calculate the house edge for three card poker so I can have better understanding of how to go about doing it. Obviously it does depend on the pay table and since I'm from the UK using pay table 2 on the Wizard of odds three card poker page.

https://wizardofodds.com/games/three-card-poker/

Anyway, I've fallen at the first hurdle because of this:

Straight flush 48 0.002172
Three of a kind 52 0.002353
Straight 720 0.032579
Flush 1096 0.049593
Pair 3744 0.169412
Ace High or Less 16440 0.743891

Total 22100 hands House edge 2.7%

My reasoning is that if I were to play 22100 hands with £1 on the pair plus, and assuming it's a perfect world and I get every single possible combination of hands I would lose 2.7% of the £22100 I had wagered.

Instead I find this:

Straight flush 48 x35 =1680
Three of a kind 52 x33 =1716
Straight 720 x6 =4320
Flush 1096 x4 =4384
Pair 3744 x1 =3744
Ace High or Less 16440 n/a

Total = 15844

This results in me retaining only 71.69% of what I wagered implying a much higher house edge. I would have expected to retain £21503.3 given the 2.7% edge.

Any help would be much appreciated, I'm finding it frustrating that obviously there is something here I clearly don't understand.

Kind regards

you forgot to include your original bet in your calculation. You keep it if you win the hand.

You are a legend!!!

It was really bothering me, thank-you so much. All sorted now.

Really do love this website but have never needed to post anything.

Thanks
