Three Card Poker is Two Games in One: A seat at the 3 Card Poker table offers two separate games to play. You are usually allowed to play either one or both games at the same time, but some casinos will require you to play both while others will make only one optionable. The two games are " Three Card Ante/Play ", where you compete against the dealer, and " Pair Plus " that has different bonus payouts for 3 card poker hands of one pair or better.. When both games are played at the same time, players may wager different amounts on each game.
The games are played with a standard 52 card deck. The cards are distributed to the dealer in groups of three by an automatic shuffling machine. The player's table layout is shown at the right. Poker rules and payouts are printed on the table at each player spot, just like this: . . (Note:) These are FULL PAYOUTS. Always look for these! |
| 3 Card Hand Values: The first thing you will probably notice from the hand rankings list at the right is that a straight has a higher ranking than a flush. That's
simply because there are fewer ways to make a 3 card straight than a 3 card flush. Aces play both high and low to a straight in this game. An ace high straight flush is the highest hand you can get but unfortunately, this is just a straight flush and not a mini-royal flush with extra bonus considerations. |
| The Pair Plus "Non-Strategy" and Unequal Bets Play |
Since the only decision the player has to make in this game is how much to bet, there is no strategy involved. However, at full payout the low house advantage of less than 3 1/2% makes it about as attractive as any table poker game you can find. You can't bet five dollars and win a house here, but the payouts are very generous and you should get a pay hand of some sort about 25% of the time. This is a good game
but you might want to remember that the win/loss swings are more volatile than in Ante/Play. Most places allow you to make unequal bets on the two games. A conservative bet would be two units on Ante/Play and one unit on Pair Plus, or equal bets. A more aggressive approach is to place more on Pair Plus than on Ante/Play. Many good players prefer to gradually increase their conservative ratio bets when they are running good, to get ahead before they
get aggressive and load up on the Pair Plus side. |
| Three Card Poker, Tri Card Poker - Ante/Play Strategy |
This game starts with the players placing bets in the "Ante" spots in the table layouts. The ante can be any amount within the posted table limits. The players and the dealer all get three cards, face down. The players all look at their hands and either fold by giving their cards back and losing their ante bet, or play by placing a bet, equal to the ante, in the "play" spot in the layout. The dealer then turns over his cards. If he does not have Queen High or better, he doesn't "qualify" to play and pays the active players even money on their ante bets and those with a straight or better are paid the additional ante bonus shown above. These players get a "push" on their play bets. If he does have a qualifying hand, those who cannot beat it lose their antes and their play bets, but can still win the ante bonus with a straight or higher. Those who can beat the dealer win even money on both their ante and play bets plus the ante bonus, if any.
In Three Card, Tri Card Poker Ante/Play, the only thing the expert player needs to know is how high his or her hand should be to produce the best possible long term results, if played. The answer to that question is Q-6-4 or higher. |
| High card only hands between Q64 through KQ10 are loss limit plays. These are hands with negative expectations. They will lose less if played than they will in ante forfeiture losses if they are not played. Ace high hands and better have positive expectations. The house advantage for Ante/Play, against the optimal strategy shown below is a comfortable 3.4% . . . . Not too bad for the player. * |
| Optimal Three Card Poker Strategy |
| Always Play Q-6-4 or Higher . . . . Never Play Anything Lower |
| * Note: The house advantage percentages referred to are based on the full payout tables shown above. Be aware that lower payouts, especially in Pair Plus, are used in many places that double and triple the house advantage against the player. Avoid games with a Pair Plus payout of only 3-1 for a flush instead of 4-1 etc. and look for full payout games. |
