Ultimate X Strategy
I have been practicing Ultimate X DDB Poker 10 play with the Wizard of Odds published strategy. Can anyone tell me if the same strategy can be used for 3 hand play?http://wizardofodds.com/games/video-pok ... nus/Thanks!

Yes, the suggested strategy for 3-play will be nearly identical to 10-play.

You should be doing that for EVERY game, not just Ultimate X. The only time you should break two pair is Aces in most Double Bonus, Double Double Bonus, Triple Double Bonus games, and other similar games where four aces are worth 800 credits. Breaking two pair for a chance of 250 credits isn't worth it.
Now for ultimate X I would always hold two pair (even Aces) as it's a guaranteed 3X multiplier vs. 2X with a 4 in 47 chance of making a 12X. The only exception is if you have Aces and another pair and the "average" multiplier is at least 4X.
