May I make a suggestion for what it's worth (it has worked well for me). Play each hand as three different games: YOUR hand (ante); DEALER"S hand (3-card); and the COMBO (5-card). Consider DEALER hand as insurance for YOUR 2-card hand and the COMBO. BETTING: Ante = 1 unit ($5) and DEALER 3-CARD = minimum of 4 units ($20) for a total of $25. Increase these initial bets using this same ratio. Only bet YOUR hand if you have at least one PICTURE or ACE, a PUSH pair, 2 CONSECUTIVE cards for a straight, or any 2 cards that can conceivably make a straight flush. Conservatively chase these with 1 unit (ante amount) bets until a push or win is guaranteed, at which time you bet the limit. Chase NOTHING else -- the DEALER 3-card serves as your chaser. Seldom will YOUR 2-CARD hand cost you more than $10 while every DEALER pair gives you at least a $10 win, off-setting roughly half of your losses. STRATEGY: The DEALER will hit a winning pair 4X as often as you since any pair is a winner for the 3-Card and only PICTURES and ACES are winning pairs for YOUR 2-Card hand. Your winnings are increased from the DEALER'S pair by a 4X margin, the losses from your ANTE hand is reduced by a third or more, and the bets normally played for a flush are always in play since he must hit a flush for YOUR 2-card hand to come into play. (The only good chase on a flush is after 4th Street remains suited but falls outside of your straight flush chase. By that point a 5-card flush is roughly a 1/5 shot.) As an example of the power of the strategy: When the dealer dealt himself triple 9's, until 4th Street hit a pair you were attempting to save a nickel bet and was blessed with a 1/24 hit. You won $225 but were willing to risk $25 from the beginning. The system I described, you would have folded the ante immediately and would still be risking $25 and would have won $600. DRAWBACKS: Occasionally you will miss out on a 5-card straight, but when your 2-CARD hand is not consecutive that is only a 1/64 chance to begin with since EACH of the DEALER'S cards is the equivalent of hitting an inside straight. That is offset over time by the 4X increase in the 3-Card wager which is always in play. You will also miss out on YOUR pair matching the dealers pair when the 4-of-a-kind is 2, 3, 4 or 5 and any 4-of-a-kind when the DEALER'S 3-of-a-kind matches one of your two ante cards. That is where the extra $375 win came from in your video. EXPLANATION: I was impressed since a similar thing happened to me just last week. Mississippi Stud, minimum $10/maximum $25/3-card limits $10 and $200. I had been getting terrible cards for a couple hours, but the dealer was hitting fairly regularly which slowly increased my winnings. I played $25 ante conservatively, but had increased my 3-card bet slowly from $100 to $150. I was dealt 7 and 8 suited and bet a quarter on 3rd Street. The turn gave me a suited 6. Thinking my time had finally come, I bet $75 on 4th Street only to have him turn up a second 6. Ego slightly deflating, I placed my $75 bet on 5th Street knowing I had won $150 on the 3-Card. The dealer was feeling pretty good himself. When I began raising my bet on the 3-card, I began placing Dealer Bets as a tip: $5 on the ante and $10 on the 3-Card. The $300 or so I had bet for him was over $400 as he regularly deposited them into the common stash. When he turned over that third 6, he acted almost like a child at his birthday party. Of course, he is just a child in his early 20's. I won $600 on the ante with $4500 more from the 3-Card. He deposited $330 into the common till from that one hand alone and when I left soon afterwards he told me that was the most fun he had in a while. I have won, on occasion, more money than that, but never on such a crappy 3-of-a-kind. I am 70 years old and there is one thing that I know: there is a stranger who will remember me for the next 50 years. Thanks for letting me tell my little story. I have been watching a lot of videos since I retired and I think there is something that people have forgotten: There is no math involved in chance, so there is no system to discover. After gambling for 50 years, I have never found generosity to be expensive.
That is a very interesting strategy. Although it could possibly work for me. Another (and possibly safer) strategy to attempt that someone else suggested was to bet $25 on the Vs Dealer bet and $5 on the 3 card and ante then just chase all the way through. So in Florida the game is a bit different because we have to be playing against someone so thats why the dealer bet is there. Essentially my 5 cards vs the dealers, that seems like it may provide more of an insurance. If I have a complete loss but still beat the dealer then I break even with a chance then of pairing the board. Both strategies seem very interesting and very feasible. Your thoughts?
@@ReelDeckGaming I appreciate your thoughtful reply and I promise this will be much shorter. I am not attempting to tell you how to play, but there are a couple things most people don't consider. It was a misnomer for me to call it a strategy; it is a manipulation of recent observations. I only ask that you think about it. Since your basic game is technically without an opponent, you may find benefit in readjusting a suit's hierarchy. From most valuable to least is as follows: J, Q, K, A, 10 - 9 - 8 - 7, 6, 3, 2, 4 - 5. This takes all 2-card and 3-card possibilities into consideration to the pay table of those layouts I have played. Unfortunately there are many versions and over time many will most likely be adjusted out. Since all aces and picture pairs pay the same they are equal value except in their value to a straight. Of 9 possible straights, 4 (nearly half) must have a Jack, 3 (one-third) must have a Queen, 2 (one-quarter) must have a King, and 2 must have an Ace (value one-eighth on Ace-High and Ace-Low is one-eighth minus possible salvation from other paying pairs). People are conditioned to chase an Ace/King when, in fact, chasing a Jack/Queen is considerably better. Last thing: I know that $5 means very little to any of us. Yet, to chase a 6 to 1 payday that may hit only once an hour is spending a half tank of gas for the taste of a happy meal. The other strategy you mentioned is the proverbial coin-flip. There is nothing wrong with it. Mathematically it's even. However, a coin flipped a thousand times will land the way it began 50.8% of the time. Look it up; I was a little amazed myself. That is not the concern of that bet. It is meant to keep you playing questionable ante cards to keep your Victory Bet in play. There is no advantage to either side. The luck of the cards is just luck. It does seem to come in streaks though. The man was so lucky on his 3-Card hands, I am surprised that it did't drip over the side while he wasn't looking. I admit you are very dedicated to your streaming. I was really quite impressed. I just finished watching a more current video where you hit 3-Card Trips and a 3-Card straight flush in the same session. I honestly would have turned off that camera and used that man's luck very early on. If any dealer ever dealt himself cards like that at a table where I was involved -- Well, I know that the Honeymoon would have been VERY awkward, but I think I would have had to propose. I thank you for your time. Best of luck with your channel. Looking forward to watching it from time to time again.

Hi , sent you a long message on here about this game but it doesn’t show up. I might of went on another video . Please let me know
Hey! I don’t see one on here. Best place is if you go to reeldeckgaming.com there’s a spot there where you can send us a message. That may help better.
Your playing like you're advertising the game. You're betting to win just alittle bit.
With Mississippi stud there are so many losses, I’m playing like I’m wanting to make more than a 2 minute video lol. The game is so volatile.
