Three-Card Poker hands are ranked from weakest to strongest as follows: However, as this game only has three cards, hands work slightly differently. Poker hands generally share the same rankings whatever variation you play. Unless they are a pair, if your highest card is lower than a Jack, then fold, whatever your other cards may be.

You should also make a play wager if you have an Ace or King as your high card, regardless of the value of your other cards. Perhaps the most well-known strategy when it comes to Three-Card Poker is to make a play wager if you have Queen-6-4 or better (Q-6-4). This can make for a very enjoyable experience in that it is relatively straightforward to play, but hard to master.

Yet unlike most, Three-Card Poker simplifies the game instead of adding complex rule systems. There is a world of poker variations out there, each with its own strategies and tactics.
