How to Play Three Card Poker - Everything You Need to Know

                     1. Poker Through the Years
More than ten centuries ago, various card games involving the basic principals of a
ranked card, domino combinations, or the use of “bluffing”, evolved into one of the most
popular card games played today. This game, played in various forms, has come to be
called “Poker”.

As with many games, the exact origins of poker are still uncertain. However, many
agree that it appears to have originated from a 16th century Persian card game, As Nas.
As Nas was played with 25 cards, and 5 different suits. It was played in a similar fashion
to modern 5-card stud Poker, with similar hands rankings, such as three-of-a-kind.

When the game reached Europeans, they called it poque or pochen. However, while
poker's origins may lie in Europe and Persia, it wasn’t truly developed until it arrived in
the United States. More specifically, when it arrived in New Orleans! If you’ve read our
other Casino game eBooks, you may have noticed a trend with where they seem to
originate. Apparently, the Big Easy loves to gamble!

Poker was first widely played in New
Orleans in the early 1800's. Prior to
the American Civil War, poker spread
quickly from New Orleans to towns
throughout the Western frontier. It
wasn’t only specific to Poker, as there
was a general spread of gambling
during this era. Most likely, because
the West was largely comprised of
speculators and travelers.

During the Wild West period of the
United States, nearly every town had
a saloon with a Poker table. It was
                                                          The Poker Game by Charles M Russell - 1894
also extremely popular in the Civil war,
when soldiers of both armies played.

               Since its beginnings, Poker has taken off and never looked back! It is one
               of the most widely played card games, and has evolved into a number of
               variations, played anywhere from kitchen tables and private parties, to
               bars and casinos. It has also become increasingly popular as an online
               game. However, it is illegal to bet money on any online casino games.

                 By the end of this eBook, you’ll not only know when to hold
               ‘em, fold ‘em, walk away, or run...you’ll know how to have FUN!
                 When you’re ready to ante up, make reservations on the Big
                              “M” Casino or call (239) 765-PLAY.

                   2. The Basics of 3 Card Poker
The version of Poker known as 3 Card Poker is quickly becoming one of the most
popular table games. Not only is it easy to learn and play...but, it’s a ton of fun!!

Three Card Poker is played with a single deck of 52 cards, and is usually 2 games in 1:

   1. Play/Ante game
      You’re playing against the dealer to see who has the highest hand.
   2. Pair Plus game
      You are wagering on whether or not you will be dealt a pair or better.

Most casinos, including the Big “M” Casino, allow you to bet on either of the games. But
some casinos require you to make an Ante bet in order to bet the Pair Plus portion of
the game.

When you sit down to play 3 Card Poker, you will see there are three betting areas in
front of each seat. The top betting circle is labeled Pair Plus where the player puts a
wager on the pair plus game. Beneath that are two diamonds labeled Ante and Play for
the base game.

The game starts with the player making a wager in the Pair Plus circle and/or Ante
diamond equal to the table minimum. Betting goes clockwise until each player has
made their bet. Never bet out of turn. After all the players have made their bets the
dealer will give each player a three card hand that is dealt by the Shuffle Master
machine. The play begins with the first player to the dealer’s left and continues
clockwise around the table.

If you’ve placed the
Ante wager, you
have a choice to
either fold or
continue in the game
by placing a Play
wager, equal to the
Ante. After all the
players have made
their decisions, the
dealer turns over his
or her three-card
hand.

The dealer’s hand
needs to contain a
queen or higher to
“qualify”. If it does
not, then all players
who are still active
will be paid even
money for their Ante wager and their bet on Play will be returned to them. However, if
the dealer does have a queen or higher, then each player compares their hand to the
dealer’s. If your hand beats the dealer, you will be paid even money for your Ante AND
Play bets. If the dealer’s hand beats yours, then you will lose both bets. If there is a tie,
then the player wins the hand.

The Hand Rankings of Three Card Poker are as follows:

       Straight Flush - Three cards of the same suit in sequence (i.e. 6-7-8 of clubs).
       Three of a Kind - Three cards of equal rank.
       Straight - Three cards in sequence of mixed suits.
       Flush - Three cards of the same suit.
       Pair - Two cards of equal rank.
       High Card - The highest card in your hand.

                                 3. Poker Chips
Many Poker games involve using chips as currency. When you’re asked to ante up, it’s
important to know how much you’re putting in. Below are the standard amounts that are
assigned to each chip color.

The five most common colors and their values are:

      White, $1
      Red, $5
      Blue, $10
      Green, $25
      Black, $100

Chips are used in place of money in casinos for several reasons:

      They are more convenient to use than currency.
      They make theft and counterfeiting more difficult.
      They are easier to count in stacks compared to paper currency when used on a
      table because of the uniform size, regularity, and coloring patterns of stacks of
      chips versus currency
      The “Pit Boss” or security can quickly verify the amount being paid, reducing the
      chance that a dealer might incorrectly pay a customer.
      The uniform weight of the casino's official tokens allows them to weigh large
      stacks or piles of chips rather than counting them. However, most casinos use
      counting aids such as chip trays for this purpose.

It is also observed that consumers tend to gamble or spend more freely with
replacement currencies than with cash.

                           4. Poker Variations
Three-card Poker is played on the Big “M” Casino, and is one of the more popular
versions of Poker played in many casinos today. Here are some other popular versions
of the game, in case you get invited over to a friend’s house for Poker Night.

Texas Hold ‘Em :
   1. Players will place out blinds and antes (this is called posting).
   2. Each player is dealt two private cards face down.
   3. There is a round of betting, starting with the player to the left of the blinds.
      Players can call, raise, or fold.
   4. The betting round ends & dealer discards the top card of the deck (a “burn card”).
   5. Dealer flips next three cards face up on table (“the flop”). These are communal
      cards that anyone can use in combination with their two pocket cards to form a
      poker hand.
   6. Another round of betting, after which dealer burns a card and places a final card
      face up on table (called “the river”). Players can now use any of the five cards on
      table or two cards in their pocket to form a five card poker hand.
   7. One final round of betting, then you have “the showdown”.
   8. This begins with the player to the left of the last player to call. Players use a
      combination of their pocket cards and the community cards to form a 5-Card
      hand. Player who shows the best hand wins!

3 or 5 Card Draw:
   1. Each player places ante into the pot
   2. Deal each player three or five cards. Player to the dealer's left bets or passes
   3. Gather the cards if every player passes. Ante again, and have the player to the
       dealer's left deal a fresh hand.
   4. Subsequent players either call, raise or fold after a player opens a hand by
       betting.
   5. Once everyone has either bet or folded, each remaining player has the option to
       exchange some cards for an equal number from the top of the deck.
   6. Start another round of betting after every player in the hand has either
       exchanged his cards or stayed.
   7. The players who have not folded show their hands following the betting round.
   8. The player with the highest hand takes all the poker chips that are in the pot.

7-card Stud or 5-Card Stud (Played with 3 to 5 players)
   1. Initial deal is two cards down and one card up to each player.
   2. First betting round starts with the highest hand showing or the high card.
   3. Another card is dealt up and another betting round. This is repeated until there
      are four cards face up.
   4. A final card is dealt down and a final betting round held.
   5. The ranking of the hands are the same as regular poker except to take the five
      best cards out of the ones you are dealt.

                                    5. Poker Face
The term Poker Face is defined as A face lacking any interpretable expression, as that
of an expert Poker player. Maintaining your Poker face is one of the most important
keys to success in a Poker game. Not only must you avoid giving anything away to your
opponents, but a good Poker player is also a skilled bluffer, and able to mislead
opponents into making false assumptions. Here are tips for maintaining a Poker face:

It’s a full body effort. In order to maintain an effective Poker face, you must be aware
of your whole body. Having a serious face shows that you know what you’re doing. But,
if you have a nervous habit of tapping your foot, turning in your chair, adjusting your
jewelry, tapping your Poker chips, biting your nails, or any other number of fidgety
actions, this can also be an indicator to other players that you are nervous.

Watch your face in the mirror. People don’t realize how their facial expressions may
appear to others, so this can make it rather challenging to keep a Poker face. So, stand
in front of a mirror and think about different scenarios that cause various emotions, then
watch your expression. Better yet, use a video camera to record yourself playing a
practice game of Poker with friends and observe your expressions carefully. This will
help you control your facial muscles when they naturally want to react to various
emotions during the game.

Your eyes are windows into your soul. Have you ever noticed that a person’s eyes
“light up” when they’re happy? Their eyes also darken when they are angry, widen when
they are frightened, and tear up when they’re sad. Even if your facial expressions are
stoic, your eyes will naturally dilate when you are happy or excited. This is very hard, if
not impossible, to control. If you have light eyes, this can be detected by your
opponents. That’s why so many Poker players wear dark sunglasses. You should too.

Keep your hands on your cards. Don’t put your hands anywhere near your face
during the game. Hand signals are often very subtle, but they can give away your Poker
face without you realizing a thing. Hands on or near your face can send a thousand
messages to experienced Poker players, so try to keep them firmly on your cards.

Remain calm. Control your body movements, and try to act the same for every hand...
unless of course you are intentionally trying to look nervous to fool your opponents.

Stick with your Poker face. Sometimes lack of expression or emotion can be very
difficult. One way to develop an effective control of your facial expressions, without
surrendering all expression, is to pick an emotion or expression at the beginning of the
game and stick with it. For example, you may choose to be happy all evening, so you’re
all smiles...regardless of your hand. Just keep thinking happy thoughts all night to help
you stick with it. Or, you may decide to be sullen and glum for the evening. Think about
sad songs or other things that will keep up this emotion, even if you have the winning
hand.

                              6. Poker Etiquette
You may be new to Poker, but no one else has to know that. Once you’ve mastered the
basics, you can sit at the table with all the confidence of the card sharks. However, as
with most casino games, there are some basic, unspoken rules called table etiquette,
that you should abide by. Most of these rules are concerned with the fairness of the
game, player safety, and just maintaining a friendly atmosphere.

To play poker properly (try saying that 10 times fast!), make sure you know the House
Rules. Each casino may have its own set of house rules. It’s best to check them upon
arrival so that you can ensure you’re playing by the rules. Some of these may include:

      Betting always goes clockwise. Never bet out of turn.
      Nothing is allowed on the poker table except the cards, your drink, and chips.
      Do not bend, dent, or mark the cards in any way.
      Do not touch another players cards.
      Play only one table at a time (“One player, one hand”).
      Be kind & respectful to the dealer and other players.

Obviously, one of the biggest sins in Poker etiquette is cheating. This is something
every Poker player and Casino takes very seriously. There may be many forms of
cheating, but they usually fall into 4 basic categories:

Collusion - This requires two or more players scheming together to beat the other
players. This may be difficult to catch.

Mechanics - This often involves the dealer and is done through a sleight of hand. For
example, false shuffling or dealing from the bottom of the deck. Casino dealers are well
monitored so you typically do not have to worry about this at most Casinos.

Imported Chips - This is easily avoided as most casinos have custom made chips.
However, if you’re playing at home, it could be an issue.

Marked Cards - This is executed by marking cards prior to their use in a game, which
can include a tear or a bend in a card. Casinos use a new deck each time to avoid this.
Some cheaters may use cards marked by invisible ink that is only visible through
special glasses.

Of course, one of the most common forms of cheating is trying to steal a quick peek at
another players cards. Clearly, ANY form of cheating goes against Poker etiquette and
can cause you to be blacklisted or face serious penalties. Also, make sure you are
aware of others potentially trying to cheat and always keep your guard up!

                         7. Poker Tournaments
Once you’ve become a card shark, you may want to consider entering a Poker
tournament. A Poker tournament, as the name suggests, is a tournament in which
players compete for a prize by playing Poker. It can consist of as little as 2 people
playing on a single table (called “Heads up” tournament), to tens of thousands of people
playing on thousands of tables.

The winner of a Poker tournament is the person who has won every poker chip in the
game. The other players are given awards based on their order of elimination. In a
tournament, the players chips cannot be cashed out for money, they only determine the
player’s placing.

Here’s how it works:
You enter a poker tournament by paying a fixed buy in and are given a pre-determined
amount of poker chips. Again, these chips have no cash value. Some tournaments may
offer the option of purchasing more chips, called re-buy or buy-back.

                                                                      For most tournaments, they will
                                                                      keep an even number of
                                                                      players at each table by
                                                                      moving players, either by
                                                                      switching one player or (as the
                                                                      field shrinks) taking an entire
                                                                      table out of play and
                                                                      distributing its players amongst
                                                                      the remaining tables. In a shoot
                                                                      out tournament, they let the
                                                                      tables dwindle down as players
                                                                      are eliminated and the last
                                                                      player at a table will then move
                                                                      on to the next round.

                                                     The prizes for a Poker
tournament will vary depending on the tournament. However, the prize is usually
awarded in one of two ways:

Fixed
Each place corresponds to a certain payoff. For example, a ten-person, $20 buy-in
tournament might award $100 for 1st place, $60 for 2nd place, and $40 for 3rd.

Proportional
Payouts are determined on a percentage-based scale, based on the number of
participants. These scales will usually see the top three players winning more than the
rest of the paid players combined.

                                  9. Poker Dealer
So, what’s the deal with the Dealer? A Poker Dealer has an important role, aside from
the obvious “dealing” of the cards. He or she must also keep track of the bets and help
to control the tempo of the game. A good dealer keeps things moving and diplomatically
encourages action from slower players.

A Poker Dealer must be very proficient in shuffling & dealing. However, it’s not as simple
as it looks! Here are the correct methods:

Shuffling
To shuffle the cards, the dealer follows a
specific sequence that’s typically
defined by the casino:

   1. Spread all cards out on the table
      and push them around randomly.
      (This is called scrambling or
      washing the cards.)
   2. Collect the cards and square
      them into a deck. At this point a
      typical shuffling sequence might
      be: “riffle, riffle, box, riffle”.
      Professional dealers always keep
      both halves of the deck very low
      to the table while shuffling.
   3. Place one of the cut cards on the
      table then cut the deck onto the
      card.
   4. The cut card is held on the
      bottom of the deck for the entire
      hand, to keep the bottom card
      from being exposed.

Dealing
In American-style dealing, the deck is held in one hand. The Dealer pinches the front-
right corner of the top card between the other thumb and index finger. The card is then
thrown, or pitched to the player.

To keep your moves smooth and seamless as a Dealer, you must throw the card using
a wrist extending motion. This positioning of the throwing wrist is critical, since the cards
must be kept low and level with the table surface. This is done so that players at the
table can’t see the undersides of the cards.

                            10. Poker Strategy
When it comes to Three Card Poker, as we mentioned, there are 2 games being played.
The Pair Plus game is purely a game of chance. You simply compare your hand to the
winning combination on the payout table and pray for luck. There is no strategy of
drawing additional cards or raising your bet involved.

                                                                     However, with the Ante and
                                                                     Play game, you are playing
                                                                     against the dealer. This allows
                                                                     you to work a little strategy into
                                                                     your game, potentially
                                                                     increasing your odds!

                                                                     Here are some easy strategies
                                                                     to remember:

                                                                     If you have a winning poker
                                                                     hand, such as a pair or three of
                                                                     a kind, a flush, or a straight,
                                                                     you should definitely play
                                                                     because your odds of winning
                                                                     Ante and Play are very high.

                                                                     If you do not have a winning
                                                                     poker hand, you should play
                                                                     anyway if you have a hand of
                                                                     Queen-6-4 or better. So, what
                                                                     constitutes a a Queen-6-4 or
                                                                     better?

                                                                     Poker hands are ranked
                                                                     according to the highest card.
                                                                     So, in 3 Card Poker, the second
                                                                     card, and then the third, are
                                                                     examined only to break a tie.

For example, a King-5-3 would beat a Queen-6-4 based on the high card; there is no
need to look further. If both high cards are the same, such as a Queen-7-2 and
Queen-6-4, the Queen-7-2 would win. Here, the high cards tie, and the second card
breaks the tie, so there is no need to look at the third card.

Opting to play with a Queen-6-4 or better has been mathematically proven to be the
optimal three-card poker strategy, which will give you the best chance to win 3-card
poker consistently.

 is placed on a bet of
 whether the 3 cards dealt
 to the player contain a
 pair.

Play
