What is Three Card Poker?

Three Card Poker is a great variation on the regular poker game. It's a great game to play online and one that can be enjoyed for hours of entertainment. Three Card Poker is really a combination of two games - Ante/Play and Pair Plus. These games are played simultaneously and each player can wager a different amount for each game. The games are played with a regular 52 card deck and each of the players and the dealer is given three cards to play.

How to Play Three Card Poker

Everyone is dealt three cards at the beginning of the game. It this game, a straight ranks higher than a flush because there are more ways to make a flush. Aces can be used for both high and low. There are two bets that you can make for each round. There is an Ante bet that you have to make if you want to play the round, and a Pair Plus bet that is optional. The Pair Plus bet indicates that you think you'll get at least a pair or higher. The result of this bet is determined by your hand's ranking, and has nothing to do with the dealer's hand. You'll win the bet if you have a pair or better and lose this bet if you have less than a pair. The Ante bet is more complicated, and depends on both the cards that you have in your hand and the cards that the dealer has. There are many places online that will show charts of the various payouts for your Ante bet. When you are playing three card poker for real money, it is important to know these details.

After you've waged your ante, the player and dealer get three cards face down. At this point, you can fold, saying that he doesn't think his hand will win. This means you'll automatically lose your ante. If you want to continue to play and bet against the dealer's hand, then you have to place another bet, equal to your ante bet, on the table. If you win the hand, you'll receive both the Ante and the Pair Plus payouts.

Special Rules in Three Card Poker

It's important to know that in three card poker the dealer has to have a queen or higher in order to qualify for the round. If the dealer doesn't have at least this, then the player will get a payment on the ante bet with even money. If, however, the player has folded already, then you lose your bet. Three Card Poker is a game where, for the Ante bet, the player only competes against the dealer and not against other players. This is important to know. Your job is to get a better hand than the dealer's hand or to get a hand with a pair or higher. The Pair Plus bet is only bet against your own hand, to see if you have a pair or higher.
