The history of three card poker is about as long as the history of fish-fly. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this particular insect, it has a life spar of approximately seven days. In short they live to mate as often as possible, and than die. Not unlike somebody celebrating their midlife crisis in Las Vegas.
Three Card Poker is a derivative of Caribbean Stud Poker. In this game the dealer and the player are each dealt three cards. The player is shooting for 2 bets: "Pair Plus", which is the poker player betting that they will have a pair or better, and "Ante", which is the player competing versus the poker dealer's hand.
If the three card poker player places an ante bet, raises the bet, and his hand shows as a straight, three of a kind, or straight flush, the three card poker player is awarded a bonus for the strong hand. The player can receive this bonus without the dealer having to "qualify" as well. |
