Basics of Three Card Poker

There is more than one way to play poker with 3 card hands, however there is always a consistency with the hand rankings which work down from 3 of a kind to straight flush, straight, then flush, pair, high card.

Myself and my friends used to play the game as being dealt 3 cards each and then the betting action going round the table, the twist in the game is here though, if you choose to look at your cards, you have to pay double to call a person who is raising ‘blind’ ( they haven’t looked at their cards) as such the raising can go on for while if someone refuses to ‘open up’ and look at their cards, and often these people will find they have nothing when they look at their cards so I wouldn’t advise raising blind. If by some chance they do have the winning hand however they will have payed half the amount into the pot as everyone else so will make a nice profit. The blind player must always choose to either make a further raise or open up, and once they have looked at their cards there is one more round of betting before a showdown.
I certainly wouldn’t expect this type of poker variation to have it’s own World Series event in years to come, but it is still fun to play with a few friends when you all get bored of Holdem for a little while, and just goes to show how diverse the game is and how different variations of poker branch off amongst different circles of people.
