3 card poker is a popular casino game that is played with three cards. The object of the game is to win as many hands as possible. The basic rules of 3 card poker are as follows:
-All players are dealt three cards face down.
-After everyone has had a chance to look at their cards, the player with the Lowest hand (the ‘low hand’) starts playing.
-The player with the low hand begins by playing one card, and then either adds another card if it makes a better hand or drops one if it makes a worse hand.
-The next player in turn does the same thing, and so on, until someone plays a card that makes their current hand illegal (for example, if they have two Queens and no other cards, they can’t play another Queen).
-If any player has five or more cards of the same rank (e.g. all Kings), that player automatically wins the hand.
-If no one has a low hand after five rounds of play, then the player with the highest hand at that point wins the pot.
-If there’s a tie for Lowest hand, then the pot is divided evenly among all players who were tied for Lowest hand at that point.
-If there’s still a tie for Lowest hand after dividing the pot, then an extra round of play is played, in which each player again plays one card.
-The winner of this additional round of play becomes the new low hand. .
There are several different variations of 3 card poker that are played in different casinos around the world. One popular variation is called “Texas Hold’em”. In this variation, each player starts with two cards instead of one and also has the option of adding another card to their current hand.
If you’re still unable to make a good hand after playing all your cards, you can ‘flop’ (throwing away) your original two cards and then hope to get better hands from other players. There are also variants called ” Omaha” and “Seven Card Stud” in which players must use only four or five cards respectively instead of three.
