There are a total of 88 cards in a deck, and each card has a value between one and ten. In order to win in 3 card poker, you must have at least three of the same rank or suit.
For example, if you have an Ace of Spades, two Aces of Spades, and a King of Hearts, you would be considered to have “broken rank” and would be able to win the hand. However, if you only had two Aces of Spades and a King of Hearts, you would not be able to win the hand.
There are four different types of hands in 3 card poker – straight, flush, full house, and three of a kind. Straight hands are simply cards that are all of the same rank – 2 through 10.
Flush hands have five cards that are all consecutive numbers (2 through 6), full house hands have three cards that are all of the same rank and two cards that are different ranks (for example, 2-3-4), and three of a kind hands include any combination of three cards that are all the same rank.
As long as you have at least three different ranks or suits in your hand, you can almost always win in 3 card poker. However, there is still a chance that you will lose a hand – even if you have the best hand possible. Keep in mind that not every hand in 3 card poker is going to be good – sometimes it’s just better to fold!.
