Three Card Poker
A three-card showdown with its own hand rankings.
How to play
- 01
Deal three cards to each challenger from a standard deck.
- 02
Use this descending order: straight flush, three of a kind, straight, flush, pair, high card.
- 03
Compare equal categories by ranks and kickers. A-K-Q is the top straight; A-2-3 is the lowest straight.
- 04
The club adaptation compares challengers directly, without a dealer, ante/play decision or side bets.
Equal ranked hands push; replay. Suits do not break ties.
Standard five-card high-poker rankings
Royal flush → straight flush → four of a kind → full house → flush → straight → three of a kind → two pair → one pair → high card.
Compare the rank of the made combination first, then kickers from highest downward. Suits are equal. Aces can be high or low in a straight, but cannot wrap around. Short Deck, lowball, Three Card Poker, Four Card Poker and Poker Dice use their own rankings.
AFTER THE GAME
Cards down. Phones up.
The winner proposes the agreed collaboration share on the loser’s first qualifying prospect. Both call counters start at zero. The loser can cancel the proposed split by completing the agreed redemption challenge before its cutoff. The actual work and contribution still determine earned credit.
