Ok, here's the version of Klondike that I play:

Three cards, no undos, infinite redeals.

I went on strategy search spree, and collected all the secrets of the game. So basically I'm playing as perfect as you can play (Unless you are a computer with eight brains that can calculate each possibility).

So, on average, I win 1 out of 20 games... That'd mean that if I was betting, I would lose $6 of every $100 with optimal play, not very profitable. Anyway, there are like 15 basic rules (Not so basic as they are large) you must follow if you want success, but I consider the secret of beating Klondike Solitaire (the one that comes with your Windows) not a very exciting one:

Only play the Aces and the Deuces to the foundations inmediately, but not the others! For example, if you have the Ace, 2 and 3 of hearts, only play the Ace and the Deuce, but keep the 3 on the tableu. Why? Because if you play it along, and the 2 of spades appears, you don't have where to put it and it gets buried, but if you keep the 3 of hearts there, it can catch it, so when the Ace of Spades appear, you can move up the 2 and then the 3 (If you don't need it as catcher anymore). You must do this with all cards, not moving them to the foundation directly, but trying to tactisize it. And that's the secret of Solitaire

Too hard to follow? Then just remember this trick:

Don't move a 3 to the foundation until you have all Aces there, then don't move the 4s until you have all 2s there, and so on.

This only trick multiplies your chances of winning by 3! But don't get too excited about it, if actually you win 1 out of 300 games, now you can win 3 out of 300, or 1 out of 100, so don't expect this trick alone to beat klondike everytime, unless you are god, but you will notice you win more often, in the long run.

And that's about it.
