3 Card Poker

Description:

Like 5 card poker and 7 card poker there is also 3 card poker. This game has it's own set of rules so be sure to read up on all the information about this game at your preferred online casino before you play. 3 card poker is just one of many online poker variations that can be found at a quality online casino.

Three card poker is two games in one. The player may bet on either one, both, and in different amounts. Both 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.

The following table shows various paytables for Pairplus. It used to be that the only table was pay table 1. Now pay table 6 is unfortunately becoming increasingly prevalent in Las Vegas casinos.

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 pairplus bet if one was made, however this should not be any sacrifice because if the pairplus 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 lose
* 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 paytable. The following table shows some variations I have seen along with the corresponding game house edge and element of risk.
