Once I look at my first three cards, I can either pull back one bet or let it ride. I was in a situation where I had 2-3-4 of clubs, and I let it ride, but then after the first common card was a 9 of hearts, I pulled back the second bet, and I wound up losing two of the three bets.Should I have let it ride, or should I have pulled back the first bet?ANSWER: The better strategy would have been to pull back the bet.As detailed by Michael Shackleford at wizardofodds.com, basic strategy after three cards calls for you to let you first bet ride only if you have a paying hand of a 10s or better; three parts of a royal flush; three consecutive suited cards if the low card is 3 or higher; three parts of a straight flush with one gap if the the hand includes at least one 10 or higher; or three parts of a straight flush with two gaps if the hand includes two 10s or higher.Note that suited A-2-3 and 2-3-4 are excluded...read moreYour bankroll, your friend10 September 2016 As a typical gambler, you bring a certain amount of money with you on a gambling vacation that is strictly for gambling – right?
