Three Card Poker
Three card poker is two games in one.
The player may bet on either one, both, and in different
amounts. Both
online poker games are based on hands consisting of
three cards. Before I go on here are the possible hands
in three card poker, the number of combinations of each
hand, and the probability of forming. Note that a
straight is harder to form than a flush.
This is a simple game in which you get three cards and
are paid according to their value. The dealer's hand is
immaterial. There is no raising and no discarding, in
fact no skill of any kind is involved.
Play begins with a wager on ante. After the player views
his three cards he may either raise by putting an equal
bet on play or fold and lose the ante bet. If the player
folds he also loses the pair plus bet if one was made,
however this should not be any sacrifice because if the
pair plus bet paid anything the player shouldn't fold.
If the player does raise then he goes against the
dealer's hand. The dealer needs at least a queen high to
qualify. Below are the possible outcomes and their
payoff:
? Dealer does not qualify: Ante wins 1 to 1, play bet is
returned
? Dealer qualifies and player beats dealer: Both play
and ante win 1 to 1
? Dealer qualifies and dealer beats player: Both Play
and ante los
? Dealer qualifies and dealer ties player: Both Play and
ante push
In addition the Ante bet has an extra bonus that does
not depend on the dealer's hand. There are different
variations of the bonus pay table.
