Not bad to try this game. After I try it then can I say how good or bad it is. Seems not bad to me.

Poker in any form, regardless of the number of cards, is an interesting board game)
True. At least you always have a little control even if the house has an edge, as opposed to most games where you just place your bet and pray ;).

It's an interesting game, but in order to learn how to play it well, you need to practise regularly, and that's not cheap. There's no point in playing with play money because playing for money and playing with play money are two different games.

I pointed @najisami to a 3 card table with minimum bet is one dime 10 cents. In upper right it sshows min. and max. bets. I have played this so I know its legit and for real. You may want to find the info I posted for Naji to see how to get to this table.

Three card Poker at ACR minimum bet a dime

Unfortunately, I don't have an ACR account anymore.

@najisami that to bad. Its the only real $$ I can access. I would love to be back on poker stars, Full Tilt(if its still around) . I was a member of 4 or 5 different poker rooms before the USA pulled an old law out that had never been enforced and caused millions in the US to be denyed online poker. Its been like that for years now. Wish they could get it together and pass a new law allowing it in all 50 states. I think there 7 states where you can legally play online.

Peace

What about 3 card poker?
Although not as exciting as Blackjack or Craps, this game also has a lot of serious adepts.
I've only played it twice but somehow liked its more relaxed pace.

This is how it goes:

The player starts by placing 2 bets:
1) An ante (a must).
2) A pair-plus bet, optional, but it's the best way to make money.

The dealer then deals 3 cards face down to the players and to himself.
After looking at their cards, the players decide whether to stay or fold. Folding means losing both bets of course :(.
But if a player decides to stay, he then must match the ante bet with an additional wager and be ready to face the dealer's cards.

If the dealer's cards win, he takes everything, except if the player has (loses with) a straight flush, 3 of a kind or a straight, in which case the player wins an ante bonus: 5:1 for a SF, 4:1 for 3 of a kind and 1:1 for a straight (That's even if the dealer wins and takes the pair-plus bet).

There's a catch though (Obvious house advantage 😣). In order for the dealer to pay for a winning pair-plus bet, he has to be qualified, meaning he has to have a Q or higher in his hand, otherwise the bet is returned to the player with no profit.

I'm honestly not very sure about how the last part works. Maybe one of you guys can clarify it a bit more, thank you.
The game is interesting, but in my opinion, it is quite difficult and requires concentration and experience. Unlike the slots I play for fun, this game gives me more of a headache than enjoyment.

Well, since you're playing for fun, you don't really need to use your brain much.
However, you do play poker (I see you at the tables all the time), do you do it only for fun too? Moreover, regular poker requires more concentration and experience than 3card poker in which you don't have to do anything but flip your 3 cards and hope to beat the dealer.

A place to practice for real $$. ACR casino, They have a table with a $0.10 minimum bet/ante. So each hand would cost $0.20 cents if you call to play your hand. You are right about playing for fun and playing for real $. Playing for fun with endless chips is easier to win at. Its nothing like playing for real $$.

Let me know if you give it a try. Would like to know how you do.

Peace,
Tony
