This usually ends up in a push, as most people bet one unit on pairplus, one unit on ante, and one unit on play. If you don’t have at least a pair in your hand, you lose the pairplus, win one unit on ante, and push the play, for a net win of 0.
Therefore, the best way to play is to put one unit on pairplus (the worse of the two bets) and two units on the ante. That way, if the dealer doesn’t qualify (which happens surprisingly often), you lose your pairplus bet but gain two units on your ante for a net win of one unit.
SAY IT WITH ME NOW: “THREE STRIKES AND YOU’RE - ” Outta there, right? If you lose your pairplus, ante, and play bets three timesin a row, you have to get up and go to another table.

MONEY MANAGEMENT

One would think it’d be pretty easy to get at least a pair of Tens, but anyone who has played let it ride knows that it’s actually pretty tough. When you decide to play, try to find a casino that offers the most generous pay table, which is the one shown on page 125. Then scope out a table that looks as if the players are having lots of fun; the dealer’s smiling, the playerss on a positive trend.
With let it ride, the best money strategy is to merely flat bet whether you win or lose. Streaks are an enormous rarity, and considering that you’re dealing with varying bets depending on when you stay or pull back, it’s better just to keep it simple and flat bet. With that being said, you must still absolutely follow the three-strikes rule: Lose three in a row and move to another table, another game, or another casino.

Yes, everyone’s hoping to win the really big bonus of a straight flush, but you need to keep your bankroll going by being paid in full for all the straights and flushes you get.
Again, don’t be shy to ask the dealer if he or she is playing hot. If the table has players, look at the cards being dealt. If all systems are go, sit down and start placing your bets.
Even though it’s not the best of bets, you’re definitely going to want to play both the pairplus and the ante portion of the game, otherwise, why play three-card poker at all? Don’t play just the pairplus; it’s the worse of the two bets. And don’t just play the ante, because when you do finally get a three of a kind or straight flush, you’ll be kicking yourself for not having played pairplus. Next, you want to take the same tactic as the dealer and keep hands that have at least a Queen or higher. Yes, sometimes it’s tough when you have a
Queen-Seven-Five, but trust me, it’s better than throwing your hand away. Just pray that the dealer doesn’t qualify.
they just match their ante bet automatically, hoping to win or, at worst, hoping the dealer doesn’t qualify. I guess if you came to gamble, you indeed came to gamble, but this tactic is just dumb and will deplete any winnings much faster than playing according to the strategy described above.
