Assuming the $ bet is bet #3, and the return on that bet is doubled, it should give a player edge of over 3%.

I see that you dont want to bet more than the maximum payout/3000. The max payout is 25,000 and the table max is 25. The most I should bet is 25000/3000, or 8.33. Should I ignore this rule because of the double payout?
Would playing this game heads up be better than playing with 5 others at a 3-card poker promo where the play bet pays double?

Probably not, assuming you have a decent paytable for the 3CP. 3CP also goes a bit quicker so you'll get more hands in per hour. Lower variance too.
I find it hard to believe that play is slower in Let it Ride. With a full table of 3-card poker the dealer is constantly counting out quarters for people, figuring out how much to pay, etc. I found it to be a really slow and boring game. But I've never played Let It Ride, but I assumed it would be faster, or probably about the same speed.
The 3CP game pays these payout on the ante: straight is 1-1, 3 of a kind is 4-1, and straight flush is 5-1. Is this considered a "good payout table"?
Thats normal. What you want to avoid are pair plus tables where a flush pays 3-1.
Full payout is pair 1-1,flush 4-1,straight 6-1,three of a kind 30-1,straight flush 40-1
Lesser tables usually just short-change the flush to 3-1.Although,I've heard of places that pay 25-1 on trips and 50-1 on the SF.

I think we burned it out...
Last night I went down to the casino to play the promo. I went and looked at the table and saw it was completely full. I decided it wasn't worth waiting for or playing if the pace of play was going to be that slow. My friend went and cashed out his comps and I sat at a slot machine for about 5-10 minutes waiting for him. I decided to walk over to the game and check things out. As I walked up the pit boss got off the phone, and informed everyone that the game was now closed. Everyone was pissed. She got another phone call then turned and told the players that the game would still be open but there wasnt going to be the promo for the rest of the day. The reason was that they had paid out too much for the day. As I was standing a few feet from the table I overheard her talking to one of the patrons. She said, "you know why its because of those two players there, they took too much of the money." So apparently they closed the table so i couldnt play, or else it was just a coincidence. I dont think I will be going back to this place for awhile. Overall I've won over 16k in the last two weeks on this game.

In order to get as much money as possible you would have to play max bet. Also I know before the game did not pay double on the Royal flush. The variance would be huge. I estimate the three card poker game to have a 10% edge. If you are still going to try to go play you guys should go down friday morning and try to beat the crowd.

Burned out- understandable
You want to be very careful about discussing ongoing operations in a public forum. Talking about adventures from 6 months ago is fine. (Usually)
The reason is a lot of unskilled and unwise peple read these sites and you never know what some yokel is going to say or do when he walks into the casino. He could walk up to a pit boss and say "Hey is this the game I read about on blackjackinfo.com where you can make a lot of money as long as you open with Q-6 and don't play the Pair Plus?"
After that, anyone fully exploiting the game could be marked as an AP, particularly if they don't have established "gambler" credentials in that store.

i was thinking the same thing when reading the post. i love to share stories but you got to be careful. you never know who could be reading these post's. perhaps a dealer, pit critter or just some player that might remmember the circumstances and put two and two together. result could be getting you cover blown ect.
best regards,

Couldnt be any more obvious.
Yeah openly discussing AP techniques at the table probably wasnt too good of a idea either. The other players at the table caught on to the 3card poker strategy. Oh well at least we made a lot before it got burnt.

I don't think it was busy because of the post on the forum. The first night paid out so much money and word got out. Only a couple people really knew about it, and then they brought all their friends, thus a packed table.
I sure hope it's still going next weekend, but it won't be as profitable as expected with the full tables. I would still go if I knew it would be open both days, but we'll see how that goes.

You're sort of famous at that casino for being the guy who won all the money on the promo, and I'm famous for being the guy that that didn't tip!
There were a lot of people playing in the dark and always playing the pair plus. But after they saw me and supercoolmancool make all that money they started betting the max like we were, and stopped playing the pair plus.
I also backed 3 players that day and made them play only Q64 or higher so there are more players who know basic strategy too. That could have been a mistake on my part, but I wouldn't bankroll anyone who didn't play as I would.
I was really hoping to get two weekends into the game, but it doesn't look good anymore. I was planning on only playing Sept 2 and 3, but now I am really glad I went through all the trouble of getting last weekend off.
