Default Re: 3 card Monty, and the incorrect poker math

If I picked the ace to begin with (33.3%) the one you don't place face up will have a 0% chance of being the ace.

If I don't pick the ace to begin with (66.7%), the one you don't place face up will have a 100% chance of being the ace.

looks to me like the second face down card has a 66.7% chance of being the ace, not 50%.

looks to me like you answered it incorrectly even when it wasn't a poker game.
