Three Card Poker Game Rules
Back to More Online Poker Game Rules
Tri-Card Poker:
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. Hands are ranked and paid according to
standard poker card rank. Higher ranked hands are paid more on a
player win.
Game Play
The player can place either the Pair Plus bet or the Ante bet, or both.
After placing his bets, both the player and the dealer receive three cards.
If the player bets on Pair Plus, he is rewarded according to the Pair Plus
Payout Table if his hand contains a pair or better. If the player bets on
Ante, he must now decide either to fold, if he does not think he can beat
the dealer’s hand, or to raise and challenge the dealer. If the player
chooses to fold, he loses the Ante bet AND the Pair Plus bet (if he placed one)
and the game is over. If the player chooses to raise, he bets an additional
amount equal to the ante bet, the dealer reveals his cards, a winner is
determined, win paid if applicable, and the game is over.
To determine the game winner after the player has raised, the dealer’s
hand must first "qualify". In Tri-Card Poker, the dealer’s hand qualifies
if it ranks as High Card with a Queen or ranks as a Pair or better. If the
dealer’s hand does not qualify, the player wins 1 to 1 on the ante bet and "pushes"
the raise bet (i.e. the player gets the raise bet back without winning or losing).
If the dealer’s hand does qualify, the best ranking hand wins. If the
dealer’s hand ranks higher, the player loses both the ante bet and the
raise bet. If the player’s hand ranks higher, the player wins 1 to 1
on both the ante and raise bets, and wins the raise bet calculated
according to the Pay Tables, below. If both the dealer’s hand and the
player’s hand have the same rank, the highest ranking card determines
the winner (for example, a Pair of Kings beats a Pair of 10s). Finally,
if the dealer’s hand ties the player’s hand both the ante bet and the
raise bet are pushed back to the player.
If the player places an ante bet, raises the bet, and his hand contains a
straight, three of a kind, or a straight flush, he is paid a bonus according
to the Ante Bonus Payout Table (regardless of whether or not the dealer qualifies).
Hand Rankings
1. Straight Flush - 3 cards of same suit in sequence
2. 3 of a Kind - 3 cards of same rank
3. Straight - 3 cards in sequence, mixed suits
4. Flush - 3 cards of same suit
5. One Pair - 1 pair (2 cards) of same ran
6. High Card - 3 cards of different ranks and suits
Rake
There is no rake.
