Live Poker Strategy Guide

Casino Hold'em Strategy

Always call with a pair or better. Call with Ace-high if the board has potential. Fold with nothing below King-high. The key decision is whether to call or fold after seeing the flop — aggressive calling reduces the house edge to around 2.16%.

Three Card Poker Tips

• Play (raise) with Queen-6-4 or better
• Fold with anything worse than Queen-6-4
• The Pair Plus side bet has a higher house edge — play it for fun, not profit
• Avoid the 6 Card Bonus bet — worst odds on the table

Ultimate Texas Hold'em

Raise 4x pre-flop with premium hands (pairs 3+, any Ace, K5s+). Check medium hands and evaluate after the flop. The Trips side bet has a reasonable 1.9% house edge and adds excitement.
