When it comes to in-depth gambling strategies for online casino games, some are so complex they are best mastered by beginning with a simpler form of the strategy itself. Aptly called simple strategy's, these are well fitted to beginning gamblers, or simply, for those whose math skills are like the majority of players - in need of some serious brushing up. Simple strategy is a stepping stone of sorts that will not only help a player gain valuable momentum against the Casinos Edge, it will reinforce one's understanding of the rules and possibilities the game affords.

The most complex forms of gambling strategy's are those which are mathematically perfect - often called perfect strategy. While games like blackjack and craps are best learnt by starting with a simple strategy, there is one game that can be played with a mathematically perfect strategy because it is so easy to learn and incorporate.

This game is called Three-Card Poker, and it can be found at many land-based and online casinos. A player using this strategy really only has three decisions to make: The money amount one puts down for the ante, whether or not to make the Pair Plus wager, and whether to fold one's hand and lose the ante bet or to play the hand through to the end.

Using the perfect strategy for Three-Card Poker, since this is a negative expectation game, the numbers say that the more money one bets, the more one will lose. Therefore, bet the lowest minimum ante that is possible.

As for the Pair Plus bet, this is optional, because there is no strategy that can be used to help it pay off. It is based entirely on luck, and as such, most players would advise to cease from making it.

The most strategic decision making, rather, should be in regards to folding the hand or putting one's ante at risk of being lost to the casino. The answer is quite simple. Perfect mathematical strategy says that a player's best long-term odds are gained when any hands lower than a Q64 are folded. Therefore, a K64 or Q63 etc. should always be folded.
