Default ROR for 3 Card Poker

Anyone have info on bet sizing, required BR, and ROR numbers for advantage play 3 card poker? Shackleford says the Standard Deviation is 1.64.
I'm playing with either a 3.48% advantage or sometimes a 3.02% advantage depending on the paytable.
Thanks,
BW

For one card seen:

Jack or lower, raise any
Queen, raise any Q9 or better
King, raise any K9
Ace, raise any A9

You should be able to bet at least 1% of your bankroll every hand if you can see the dealer's hole card every hand.

1% on the ante I presume? (so Ante + Play = 2% total) or 1% total? What is the ROR with that system or is just a guideline? My worst losing session while getting 100% hole card reads was 30 X Ante bet.

I'm new to doing this but here is the numbers I am getting.
A) Assuming 1.64 Standard Deviation on play & Ante bet.
B) edge on play and ante combined is only 55% of your ante advantage.
A&B come from Wizards site.
so 1.66% is the advantage on total amount wagered. (On the 1,3,4 paytable which is what I play most often)

Advantage/std.dev^2 is the % of bankroll to wager so for me that is 0.62% wagered on ante and play combined for each hand. Does this seem rational?
BW
p.s. 0.71% on the 1,4,5 paytable.

What exactly are you doing to qualify this game for advantage play?

The advantage comes from seeing one of the dealer cards.

Is this a common opportunity, or about as difficult to find as in blackjack?

A couple of years ago this game was easily found almost everywhere the game is dealt. Casino staff is now much more aware of this, and the game is tighter now.
