AnswerIn Three Card Poker, raise with Queen-6-4 or better and fold anything worse. That is the whole strategy.
How it plays
- Place an ante, and a pair plus bet if you wish.
- Receive three cards.
- Fold, or match the ante to play.
- The dealer reveals; a queen-high or better qualifies.
- If the dealer does not qualify, the ante pays and the play bet is returned.
Hand ranks
With three cards a straight beats a flush, and three of a kind beats both.
Bets
| Bet | Pays | House edge |
|---|
| Ante and play | 1 to 1, plus ante bonus on strong hands | About 3.4% of the ante; about 2% of total staked |
|---|
| Pair plus | 1 to 1 for a pair up to 40 to 1 for a straight flush | About 7% on common tables; about 2.3% on the best |
|---|
| Six-card bonus | Up to 1,000 to 1 | Often 8% or more |

Why Queen-6-4
It is the point at which playing loses less, on average, than folding the ante.
