An obvious example is when the best hand shares a card with another hand, then you're often better off going with the third hand, even if it's weaker on average.

Can you give an example of when this might occur?

Because the rules described originally are likely the rules that I will see when I show up next, I'd be interested to know what my strategy should be doubling pairs/aces (see my post a few above this one for my "theory" on how to play these). I know that you should for sure double when you are better than 50%, but I'm specifically curious as to how to alter this strategy with the extra payout system.

I suppose these are my questions:
a) If you hold a pair that is less than 50% to win, what are the odds that you will finish with a set and win (46 unknown cards)?
b) If you hold an A that is less than 50% to win, what are the odds that you will finish with a pair of aces and win (46 unknown cards)?
