Absolutely true. Holding all 3 eliminates the full house or quad (the
straight possibilities have already been nicely addressed).
I was playing $5 9/6 Job at Palace Station a few years back, when $5 was way
over my head. A potshot, if you will. Dealt A-K-Q unsuited, kept the K-Q per
my Winpoker practice experience, and got K-K-K on the draw. $625. Yee-haw!

Holding three high cards means the best outcome would be a straight which
itself is tougher to get by holding the Ace since it decreases the number of
ways that you can get the straight.You have eliminated any chance of getting four of a kind or a full house
both of which are generous payouts.
