Poker Three contains two games in one. You may bet on one or
both games.
Pair Plus:
This is a simple game where you place a bet, receive a hand
and get paid according to your hand. The dealer's hand is irrelevant.
There is no raising or no discarding. To play the game:
- Click on a chip of desired value to select it. Then move
your cursor to the middle of the screen over the area "Pair
Plus Bet" and click on it. Every click on the area adds one
chip to the bet. Select another chip if you wish to increase
the bet by some other amount. Right clicking on the area removes
one chip.
- Click the Deal button.
- You receive your hand and your winnings, if any. Click New
Game to start a new game round, then Rebet,
to place the same bet as in the previous round.
Here is the winnings table for Pair Plus:
Pair |
1 to 1 |
Flush |
4 to 1 |
Straight |
6 to 1 |
Three of a Kind |
30 to 1 |
Straight Flush |
40 to 1 |
Ante and Play:
This is the second game, slightly more complicated. To play
the game:
- First, place an ante. This is done just like placing a Pair
Plus bet, except you click on the "Ante" field, not the "Pair
Plus Bet" field.
- Click the Deal button.
- After viewing your hand, decide whether you want to Fold
(and lose your ante) or Call (place another bet that equals
your ante and see the dealer's hand). Click on either Fold or Call button.
If you fold, you also lose your Pair Plus Bet, if one was made.
However, if your Pair Plus Bet paid anything, it is not likely
that you want to fold.
- If you Call, your hand is now compared to the dealer's hand.
The dealer needs a Queen or better to qualify. Here are the
possible outcomes:
Dealer does not qualify: Ante wins 1 to 1, play bet is returned
Dealer qualifies and player beats dealer: Both play and ante win 1 to 1
Dealer qualifies and dealer beats player: Both play and ante lose
Dealer qualifies and dealer ties player: Both play and ante push
In addition the Ante bet has an extra bonus that does not depend
on the dealer's hand:
Straight |
1 to 1 |
Three of a Kind |
4 to 1 |
Straight Flush |
5 to 1 |
Please note: Aces play both high and low to
a straight.
- Click New Game to start a new game round,
then Rebet to place the same bet as in the
previous round.
