Three Card Poker
This poker game is played with three cards that are
dealt both to the player and to the dealer. You're not
playing against others, but rather just the dealer or
just yourself.
Several casinos have a maximum bet per hand capping
off at $200 and several starting with as little as a
quarter for the low rollers. This is a very safe game to
play and your funds will last a long time because it
doesn't have a very high house advantage. If you like
betting up and down, this may be your game.
Three Card Poker uses a 52 card deck and is a newer
game just recently invented in 1994 by a professional
poker player from Great Britain. There are actually two
games in one where the player can bet on the ante or
pair plus.
The basis of the game is placing a bet after you
receive 3 cards and venturing that your cards will be
higher then the dealer's cards. If you have an Ace or
King, calling is your best bet, and this goes as well as
a pair, flush, straight, or three of a kind. When you
make the pair plus bet, it doesn't matter what the
dealer has, but is purely made on the player's hand
itself. The better the hand, the higher the payout
received.
