âIâ LOVE 3-Card Poker because it it âTHE BESTâ Game to use doing âResearchâ on âCharmValueâ and Charm Attributes! 
It is so EASY, LOL! 
Just go to SinglePlayer 3-CardPoker and the 10M Bet! 1 Hand, NeverFold! 
Load your BIG âResearchâ Charms and âTESTâ Away! 
In my opinion, This is the Quickest way to Exchange OverStocks of 5Groups of SlowPay 4CloverCharms on your CrownDay!
No losing on this setup and you see your CharmValue because they CashOut in the Blink of the Eye, LOL! 
Drop to 5M/1M Bet if you need to Develop âTRUSTâ !

@SteveSunset Just a questionâŚWhat is the point of folding when playing 3 card poker? If the dealer is going to win, you lose your bet, If you fold you lose your bet. What am I missing? Iâm new to this game.

Canât play very much at 10 mil a hand. Itâs not the coins. Itâs the mass Charm destruction that
i canât maintain.

I personally never fold as I said above. My charms pay out every hand that way.

If Iâm not mistaken Cathylee, if you fold you lose your bet, but if you âplayâ and lose, you then lose your bet and the ante (ie, if you bet 1mm, and lose the hand, you lose both the 1mm bet, a 1mm ante, ultimately losing 2mm).

Hi Cathylee,
@papa_meester is exactly right. When you fold, you only lose your 1-bet Ante. But if you âPlayâ and the dealer qualifies and beats you, you lose both your Ante and your Play bet, for a total loss of 2 bets.
Thatâs why the Q-6-4 rule is the most important strategy in the game.
As @Elanor mentioned in her 3 Card Poker or Blackjack? post, the basic strategy is to âFold any starting hand lower than Q-6-4.â
The reason is all about pure math and finding the smallest possible loss (this is called âExpected Valueâ):
- If you fold: Your guaranteed loss is 1 bet.
- If you have Q-6-4 and âPlayâ: The math shows your average loss over time is 0.99 bets. This is slightly better than folding.
- If you have Q-6-3 (the very next hand down): Your average loss is just over 1 bet. This is worse than folding.
So, Q-6-4 is the exact âtipping pointâ hand where it becomes cheaper to play than it is to fold.
Why Strategy Matters (House Edge Comparison)
Sticking to this matters a lot for how much the casino expects to win from you over time (the âhouse edge,â based on your Ante bet):
- Playing Q-6-4 or Better (Optimal Strategy): The house edge is around 3.37%. This is the best you can do.
- Playing Weaker Hands (like J-8-3 or better): If you decide to play hands weaker than Q-6-4, such as playing any hand that is J-8-3 or better, the house edge goes up. Youâre making unnecessary -EV (negative expected value) plays compared to the optimal strategy.
- Never Folding (Playing Every Hand): If you just play every single hand you get, the house edge jumps dramatically to 7.65%! You lose coins much faster this way.
So, folding those hands below Q-6-4 really does save you coins in the long run compared to just playing everything or playing hands that almost seem good enough like J-8-3. You should fold everything below Q-6-4 and play everything at Q-6-4 or above!

Hereâs a simple way to look at the odds and the impact of strategy:
Letâs say you play 100 hands of 3-Card Poker at 10M coins each, for a total wagered amount of 1B coins (assuming no charms):
- With Optimal Strategy (Play Q-6-4 or better): The house edge is 3.37%. On average, youâd expect to lose 33.7M coins (1B * 3.37%).
- If You Never Fold: The house edge jumps to 7.65%. On average, youâd expect to lose 76.5M coins (1B * 7.65%) - more than double the loss!
Now, letâs extend that to playing 100 hands every day for a month (3000 hands total, wagering 30B coins):
- With Optimal Strategy: Your expected loss over the month would be roughly 1.011B coins (30B * 3.37%).
- If You Never Fold: Your expected loss skyrockets to roughly 2.295B coins (30B * 7.65%).
Playing the simple Q-6-4 strategy saves you a significant amount of coins in the long run compared to just playing every hand.

Little wonder it takes me so long to make milestones, I almost never fold because to lose the dealer has to qualify and as my late departed Dad always said âChance it kid, you never know your luck in a big cityâ

Haha, I get that thinking, @Eddi_Bets! Your Dadâs advice sounds fun, though casinos definitely count on that âchance itâ thinking - they operate purely based on math! 
I also think the charms do a good job of masking how much youâre actually losing over time. Most slots really do have a high house edge, often over 10%. Statistically, the games where you have a playerâs edge are Blackjack (if you use the correct CW strategy), Mahjong, Lillypond, and Jewels of Osiris. Texas Holdâem might be in there too if youâre a skilled player. But yeah, play what makes you happy! Sometimes you just have to see it as the cost of entertainment.

I do that too Eddi, and not only to see how my luck is gonna go, but not to lose the amount that my charms will give to me. I understand that is not the right thing to do, but i keep doing it.

I donât think weâre alone I think a lot of people play to empty charms to build their coin total.
