Anyone know how well a prussic type hitch grips when wrapped around 3 ropes at the same time?

I have never encountered a situation where this was an option. What are your three legs anchored to? And why do you need a prussik on all three?

OK' I was thinking of using this in the following situation.....
Frequently we do flop jobs with a poor man's knot then to a cum along.
Sometimes if its a bad leaner I'd like to get a little more pull out of the rope than the cum along will allow .
I figured I might try wrapping prussic around all 3 leads of poor man setup for more pull if needed.
Just an idea .Ive only used these hitches on 1 rope at a time. Thought I'd check how they grip on 2 or 3 ropes together before trying at work .
I figured some here might know

I wouldn't do it. If one rope has more tension than the other and slips, then all three ropes will slip. Lock off each rope individually.
