How to Play Triple Card Poker
If you've ever played the tables at the casino, or even gone online to play a few games, maybe you ought to try your odds at this one - Triple Card Poker. Do you enjoy playing Poker, but wish you could do away with playing with the other players? Well Triple Card Poker is the answer to your prayers. The beauty in this variation of Poker is - it's the easiest way to play Poker, especially for beginner Poker players; no need for competition against other Poker players, it's just you and the dealer; and you have higher odds for winning. Even experienced Poker players favor this game- it allows them to fine tune their Poker playing skills and place higher bets.
The rules of the game in Triple Card Poker are as follows:
Remember, it's you against the dealer, so don't worry about having to bluff the other players- they're not paying attention to you anyway.
There are two ways to place your bets- Pair Plus betting, or Ante betting. Choose how you want to bet, and how lucky do you feel. If you feel like you've got a real good chance of getting dealt a good hand, put your money on a Pair Plus. Word of Caution: You only get one shot at winning if you choose to bet on Pair Plus. If you're not sure about the first hand, and you think that you can raise a bet for more money, bet the Ante.
Before you're dealt your three cards, remember these hands, ranked from highest to lowest- Straight Flush, Three of a Kind, Straight, Flush, Pair, or a High Card. The name of the game is to win by hitting a high hand with only three cards in play.
The winner is determined by the person who is holding the higher hand- you or the dealer. The normal starting bet in a casino is $5, with the opportunity to bet higher if you like. Just keep in mind that you have a choice to either raise the ante on a good hand (or feeling), or fold and play the next round.
