3 Card Poker Strategy

3 Card Poker Strategy

The basic strategy while playing 3 Card Poker is to understand the rules nicely, when breaking out the 52-card deck and deal a hand of 3-card poker. In this game, you play against the dealer instead of other opponents. In order to win, you need to have a better hand then the dealer(and at least a pair). In 3 Card Poker, all is served with three cards, and the cards are shuffled after each hand as there are very less chances to get a straight with 3 cards than a flush, straights rank higher. Aces are high or low.

A player can make two types of bet: the Ante and the Pair Plus. In the Ante types of bet, there is a fee charged on playing the hand while in The Pair Plus is your that bet through which you will get a hand with a pair or higher. Its compulsory to bet the Ante to stay in the game.

A player ante when he/she put his/her bet on the Ante spot of the game table. Both players, dealer and you are dealt with 3 cards face down. You just need to decide if your cards are good enough for you to bet. If you finally win you get the Ante and the Pair Plus payouts.

The dealer should have a Queen or better to stay in the game or else you get payment on their ante only if it pays even money (1 to 1)
