MARK PILARSKI: Three-card poker versus pai gow
QUESTION: I need to settle this argument. I play pai gow poker, and to me, other than a copy hand, I see it as an even game, as there have been many times where I did not have a copy hand all night, or very, very, few of them. So from a dealt hand, I would say it is a 50-50 proposition on who will win.
