How to Play Three Card Poker? 

Three Card Poker rules are simple enough: your goal is to create a valid poker hand (pair+) or beat the dealer’s hand (ante). To start playing:

1. Set the chip value first. You can do so from the section at the bottom left corner. The chip values change between 0.2 and 100. 
2. Click on the “ante” or the “pair+” sections to place a bet. You can use both sections at the same time or use only one – it is your call. After that, click the “deal” button. 
3. You will get three cards, all face up. The dealer will also get three cards, face down. At this point, you have to decide whether to bet or fold. If you fold, you’ll lose your ante bet.
4. If you bet, the results will be displayed instantly. You can win both bets, win one and lose the other or lose both, depending on your hand. 
5. To start a new game with the same bet values, click the “rebet” button. To start a fresh round, click the “new game” button. 

How to Win at Three Card Poker? 

By placing an ante bet, you are betting against the dealer’s hand. Simply put, your goal is to create a better hand than the dealer’s, according to the standard poker hand hierarchy. The dealer must have a Queen or better to qualify for the game. If he cannot qualify, your bet is returned to your balance. If he qualifies, both hands get compared, and the winner is decided. The payout table for the ante bet is: 

By placing a pair+ bet, you are simply trying to create a valid poker hand: this is not a bet against the dealer. The paytable below shows what hands you can create and what the Three Card poker odds and payouts are. 

The basic Three Card Poker strategy is simple enough: if you have Queen, 6, 4 or better, keep increasing your bet. This also applies if your high card is an Ace or a King (your other cards do not matter). And if your high card is a Jack (or lower), you should fold. However, each game is unique, and these are only general suggestions. You should decide what to do according to your hand.
