Do you flip 1 or 3 cards in solitaire?

Do you flip 1 or 3 cards in solitaire? Flip over the top three cards, and see if the top one can be placed anywhere. If you play the first card, see if you can put down the next. If you put down the second card, see if you can put down the last card. Then, if you put down the last card, put down another three cards from the reserve pile.
