I am realllly sorry but appreciate your effort.

1)player bets $10 and receives 3 cards
2)for player to continue he must place another $10 bet.(example of a A,K high)or folds and loses his original ante($10)
3) wager is now $20 or player loses $10
4) The dealer does nothing to win the folded $10(great advantage)
5) We now have a $20 wager and the dealers pays off $10 if he has less than a Q high and loses to the player but the second $10 bet is a push.
6) If the dealer has a Q or higher then the whole $20 is at risk and goes to the higher hand.

My Question:

Statistically, if the player plays as the house but only enters with Q,J high or better who wins the money over 17 trillion hands or better yet what is the edge to the house? This should be stated in $'s won as if things were equal the player would obviously win as he only enters with a Q,J but the dealer must enter with a Q. But hte fact that the player loses $10 if he doesn't enter skews the game the other way.

clear as mud -but thanks for the effort. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
