You have picked three basic hands that every competent player should know --- although several here have expressed opinions such as "I'm not Bob so I don't have to know these." It's expensive to think that way.Others, where at least some folks get it wrong are:1.   3h 3s 3d 2c 22.    Ah Kh Th 3h 2c3.    Jh Td 9c 8h 8s4.    Ah Ac 2c 3c 5c5.    Ah Ks Qh Js 9s6.    Ac Qc 2d 3d 4d7.    Qh Jd 9c 8c 5c8.     Jh Th Ks 9s 6s         Competent players don't leave the house without knowing these cold. There are some hands tougher than these that some players ignore, but basic strategy is easy enough for everybody.                  Answers:1.    333222.     AKT33.      JT984.     A2355.     KJ96.     AQ7.     QJ988.      JTK9Many of these answers are pay-schedule dependent in addition to being game dependent.Bob

Keep the 6 only. If there is anything I've learned from experts who aren't actual experts, is that to win you have to do what the casino isn't expecting you to do. You might draw 3 more sixes.

[QUOTE=damule] [QUOTE=billyjoe] 1) Ace 2) Ace 3) K 10



These holds also convert directly to billyjoe's favorite game: Triple Double Bonus[/QUOTE]

Not for the paytables he should try to play. KT5 suited is correct for 9/7 and 9/6 TDB. 9.6% error at 9/7, and 2.3% error at 9/6 when holding just KTs.[/QUOTE]
Flushes are accidents for me..

I always want the opportunity to get a quad or better, so I rarely hold three cards, unless it's an RF-maker.
