Like yourself, I have a very young city, just over a year. What I do, thanks to the advise of some other players here and because I don’t have that kind of cash, is play 1M per 1 hand with no pair plus. I don’t use any charms playing this, but I’ve seen to come out better than the dealer most times. Of course I get on a losing streak now and again, like anything else. But I’ve been profitable in this game. Hope this helps.

I too am nowhere near having the resources to regularly bet 10 million, so when I play 3 card I use the largest value charms I have from my TBs, luckiest 7 or mystic ruby; they don’t load in sets. I play one hand at a time
I do bet 10 million in Mahjong regularly because I am confident I can clear the board - then I play sets of unicorns. If the board is sufficiently complex I can burn through 200 unicorns and gain around a billion coins over the game winnings
As I understand it each charm comes with a predetermined value (the value isn’t absolutely fixed but will fit in a predictable range) whether you play them in sets or not.

CONGRATULATIONS @Eddi_Bets Those are so rare, much like the 3 of a kind. I always bet 10 Mil hand and 10 Mil pair plus (30 mil total bet without folding)
WELL DONE!!

Q-4-6? No way i’d EVER play that. In 3CP the lowest non-pair you should ever consider playing is K-10-or over. You just cannot survive playing ANY hand under that. It’s like having surrender IRL blackjack and that’s an “in the players favor” option unlike insurance which is an awful bet.

I have read lots of different strategies about the best way to play 3 card poker. I tested out lots of different options until I found what worked for me. I personally don’t fold and play 5 hands at a time. I vary my pair plus bet depending on the charms I am using. I always come out in front when I play so it works for me. I don’t think there is a right or wrong way to play the game, just find the way that works best for you. Good luck

Respect the K-10 discipline! I just stick to the standard Q-6-4 strategy myself. It’s the statistical cutoff where playing becomes slightly better than folding, even if it’s a sweat!
Meaning, if there were a total of 100 hands (of course it’s more, but just for the sake of simplicity), Q-6-4 is roughly the 51st hand in order from worst (2-3-5) to best (Q-K-A Royal flush).

when i got with in 5 billion of my next crown payoffs got smaller and i had to use more charm, almost never getting more than flush and they were few. i think i got one straight during the last 5 billion to my crown
