How to play it. Fold in almost every spot, except defending the big blind against a small raise.
Q3o pairs at least one of its cards on the flop 32.4% of the time and makes two pair or better 5.7% of the time.
The suited version, Q3s, wins 51.0% heads-up, 2.9 points more.
Against nine opponents it wins only 7.0%, less than its fair share of 10.0%, so it does poorly in crowded pots.
