I may be in a position in the near future where I "can play any game but blackjack." I've dabbled at three card poker where the strategy is play Queen-8 and better and always play the pairs plus bet. Is that right? If not, what is basic strategy? What is the house edge? Does it make any sense for the pairs plus bet to exceed the ante?
I've read Walker's Spanish 21 and am not sure I will have basic strategy down pat by the time of my trip. Is it ok to bring a typed up basic strategy card to the table, as it allowed in blackjack? It wouldn't be a full basic strategy card. I'm surprised how different basic strategy is in Spanish 21 to blackjack. As she describes in the book, I could imagine many arguments over basic strategy (most people probably don't even know one exists) at the table.
Thanks in advance.
