🎰 3-Card Poker

First of all, there is the Ante/Play version where players compete against a dealer for the best hand.Second, there is the Pair Plus aspect in which players bet on whether or not they will be dealt a pair or better. In most casinos, however, in order to bet the Pair Plus portion, players must also make an Ante bet.

Three Card Poker is like getting two Las Vegas casino games in one. Not only can you play against the dealer, you can also win based on how good your cards are. The object of the game is to make the best poker hand possible with only three cards.

🎰 How to Play Three-Card Poker

On a standard Three-Card Poker table, there are three betting circles in front of each player. The top circle is labeled Pair Plus and beneath this circle are two others labeled Ante and Play.

Play begins with the player making a wager in the Ante and/or Pair Plus circle(s) that must be equivalent to the table minimum. The dealer then distributes three cards to each player.

If a player has a bet in the Ante circle, s/he must choose to play or fold. Should the player decide to fold, then his/her ante is forfeited. If, however, the player wishes to continue, then s/he must place an additional bet in the Play circle that is equal to his/her Ante.

Once betting is finished, the dealer displays his/her three-card hand. The dealer must have a “qualifying” hand of Queen or higher, otherwise all of the players will be paid for their Ante and their Play bets will be returned to them.

If, however, the dealer’s hand does qualify, is is compared to the players’ hands to determine a winner. Obviously, if the player’s hand is better, then s/he will be paid for both his/her Ante and Play bets. If the dealer’s hand is better, the player will lose both bets. Any ties go to the player.

🎰 Three-Card Poker hand rankings

Since each hand consists of only three cards, the rankings differ from standard poker rankings. Three-Card Poker hand rankings are—from high to low—as follows:

🎲 Straight flush—three consecutive cards of the same suit

🎲 Three-of-a-kind—three cards of the same rank

🎲 Straight—three consecutive cards of mixed suits

🎲 Flush—three cards of the same suit

🎲 Pair—two cards of the same rank

🎲 High card

🎰 Three-Card Poker Strategy

The usual strategy for when to make the Play wager is to bet whenever you have Queen-6-4 or better, including any time your high card is an Ace or a King, no matter how high your other two cards are, and also anytime your hand is Q-7 or better, regardless of your third card. Fold if your hand is not at least that high

🎰 How do you win at 3 card poker every time?

Pair Plus: you will win any time your three cards have a pair, flush, straight, straight flush or three of a kind. Ante-Play: you will want to bet if you have a Queen-6-4 or better. Learn the hands to fold or bet on with Ante-Play to make the right moves during game play. 2
