Pai Gow Poker House Odds Payout

The house would almost always play the flush with a pair of Kings up.
It's the strongest 5-card side (in this case the flush) that can field a pair for the top, over all other hands. The bonus, if the player had this hand, would pay on the full house.It looks like the Atlantic City casinos' house ways specifically refer to the full house rule in this case. I think that would put the Aces up, with three kings down. Barona's house way has an exception for when all 7 cards can be used, and that clearly would put the kings up with a flush down. The house ways from Vegas casinos that are available on the Odds site don't seem to address this situation at all. I'm sure Dan is right about how they'd play the hand.

The only reason why I would see them playing A* top is because that guarantees the house does not lose.
If the house way would be:
KK
AKJ6* flush
what if the hand was:
AJ6222*
would they play
22
AJ62* flush

There's a list of various house rules here. The houses that always play the full house rule (Atlantic City) would play AA/222xx. The houses that always play 5 card 'complete' hands with a pair up (Barona, apparently Las Vegas) would play 22/flush.

Thanks. Note that because a lot of house ways are designed to be so easy for the dealer to deal, that they don't always break out rare hand types, like 'flush or straight with full house,' (which can ony be formed with the joker),
- or have an overriding rule of 'flush or straight with a pair top, always play' - a rule that should be included, but not always, as you want a 'flush lock' on the 5-card side if you can field a pair for the top. A dealer facing players will always pick up wins from all player straights, three of a kinds and lesser flushes with no top.

This hand is so rare, and either play so strong, that it would hurt the house way little to simplify the rule to 'full house: always play as full house, with pair on top.'

Not the exact hand, but one I was dealt one time was: Joker,2c,3c,4c,Ac,3s,3d.

one set: Ac,2c,3c,4c,Joker HIGH; 3s,3d LOW
other set: 3s,3d,3c,2c,4c HIGH; Ac, Joker LOW
The house way on THAT hand was the other set, since A-A was the low. I set it that way, as I learned all but one of the Aces was out. If I had set it the other way, I would have pushed, since the dealer had two pair. Nice bonus though.That is SOME hand, an A-5 straight flush in clubs with a pair of 3's for the top. WOW....
The way to play it is straight flush with a pair of 3's, with the SF lock on the bottom, instead of trip 3's with the AA lock on top.
Both settings are just monsters, again both at 80% EV, no setting - either way - is 'wrong.'
Wong says that the best play with a full house or flush with pairs is to play the flush with 10's or better on top, else play the full house split, as you will ALWAYS have either a pair of Aces on top, or trip aces bottom.
For the house dealer or banker facing many opponents, the best play is to play the flush bottom with any pair top, as facing many players you'll beat many trips and straights and lower flushes.
For a non-banking player, who only plays head on one-to-one, play the top aces pair on top or the top trip aces on bottom, but some houses (mainly AC) use the 'just split the full house' set.

Yeah, it was. I'm pretty fast when it comes to setting hands. I prefer to play two hands at once (when banking is not an option or another player is playing too much to bank against), and I usually set both hands faster than the average player can set one. Most dealers ask if I'm a dealer, and I say that I'm not...
Anyways, I saw the straight flush instantly, then saw the threes. It took me a bit to decide how to set the hand, until I opted for AA in the low. I agree, if I had 10s or higher, I would have played it that way, and as it turned out, I made the right choice.
The only hand I've had any stronger was a long time ago I got 4 5s with KK up.Ahh..but the straight flush paid really well on the bonus, more so than quads. Just LOVE getting an envy hand....
