Pai Gow Poker and Three-Card Poker are the most popular poker-themed casino games. It's a no-brainer which game is better if you know anything about the two games. Pai Gow Poker is the better game because you can act as the bank, and lower the house edge against you. In Three-Card Poker the house edge can be as high as 2.5%, if you play to optimum Q-6-4 strategy.

The edge in Pai Gow Poker will change based on the amount bet when you're the player and the amount bet when you bank action. Your skill level at setting hands will also affect the odds the house will have against you. Pai Gow has more strategy involved than Three-Card Poker, and is more challenging and fun to play. And banking hands in Pai Gow Poker can produce a faster profit in a short amount of time when you win them.

Well, this was my 8th final table playing these Main Event Rd 1 qualifiers! These Rd 1 deals are played with 3 minute blinds! You have to be in the final 2 to win a ticket to Rd 2 Freerolls.... then finish final 2 to go to the 3rd step.. a final round where you need to finish in the top 3 to win a seat to the WSOP Main Event! Finally I took one down! I was up and down the final table leader board... back and forth.. what a ride for this one. Funny thing is with 4 of us left... 2 of us short stacks watched the 2 chip leaders( who each had well over 100,000 chips... and us with only 32,000 and 38,000) go all in and called. It knocked one of them out and left us 2 short stacks with a chip leader of well over 250,000 chips! After a lot of bad cards in the final table... I was down to only 6,740 chips left in the SB with 8,000 chips in already.... I caught A,Q and won that hand from the other short stack. He and the chip leader got into it on the next hand.. short stack lost leaving me in the sunshine!!:dirol

I'll post my Tilt stats here of this tourney for all to see. Any comments about these stats?



To get into these Main Event Rd 1 SnG tourneys.... go to Tilt lobby... select play money tab/Sitngo tab/ Multi table tab. They are listed there.. go down to announced 225 or 455. The 225 ones you have to be in the top 2 to advance. The 455 one has only 1 winner!(don't know why it isn't other way around, but that's the way it is) When you double click on one to go to the lobby you'll need to have your cursor right there on it and clicking before the "Register Now" button comes on. If you don't.. you won't likely get in.. they fill up faster than you can believe! A quarter of a second late on the click and you'll lose out. Good news is that they run every 4 minutes and are around the clock!! Good Luck to all who give em a shot!
