Play starts after every places their bets. The only difference being that in 3 card poker a straight beats a flush. Winning hands are determined by standard poker hands made up of only 3 cards instead of 5 cards. If the dealer does not qualify then you win automatically. This is a game where you win based on a pay-out table if you beat the dealers hand provided that the dealer 'qualifies'. But we can discuss betting methods, good and bad, ways people play, differences between playing on a ship versus a land casino etc.įor those who don't know how to play 3 Card Poker. I say there is not much in strategy because its mostly a luck thing besides knowing when you should fold and when you should bet and see the dealers cards.

Because this IS a game where a newbie can sit and play and not have their play affect anyone else at the table.

Now, I'm not saying there is a whole lot of strategy in playing 3 card, but I have sat at enough tables on the cruise ships to hear many times - 'Oh I don't know how to play that.' So I figured I would start a thread and see where it goes. I saw one for Craps, BlackJack and Roulette but I don't remember seeing a thread on 3 Card Poker.
