3 card poker-any adv ?

[golfnut101]

If you were able to peek at bottom card of deck after hands were distributed, would it give a player any worthwhile advantage ?

thnx in advance

If you're talking about peeking at the dealers hole cards, yes you can actually achieve a pretty large advantage depending on how many cards you can see and how consistently you see them.

You should probably clarify whether you're talking about seeing the bottom card of an entire deck, or seeing cards that make up the dealers hand.

See the dealers bottom card,yes
See the bottom card of the unused deck-no.At least I don't see how that would help.

Likely not. Probably wouldn't help much in Let It Ride, either.

It might help a lil bit in Let it Ride.If you are staring at a broken straight flush and you know the card you need is out of play.

What if you play all spots and calculate the odds based upon what you have and what the dealer could have?

Have you ever seen a casino that allows that? I haven't.

You're still betting, even with your straight flush card dead. I guess it would sway your open straight draws with 4 cards. But you shouldn't be playing let it ride without seeing a holecard, or a messed up paytable.

I think even if you saw the hands of every other player at a full table you'd still be playing with a disadvantage albeit a reduced one.

But if you find a sloppy dealer, jump on it heavy.

There's some level at which let it ride becomes beatable, but you'd have to be obviously showing each other your cards, and I believe it requires a difficult strategy.
