Hello all I am wondering what everyone here that plays table games prefers to play?

Three Card Poker, or Four Card Poker? And why?

I have played both and I prefer Four Card Poker over Three Card Poker, I have always had better luck with Four Card poker hitting two straight flushes, and a four of a kind since playing the game.

I just don't like only having three cards, They never pair up for me and I always lose money SUPER fast playing three card poker.

I play limits between $10- 100 a hand playing both aces up and ante on Four Card Poker.

Looking forward to ya'lls input.

you just made me realise I've never had 4 of a kind in 3card poker, guess I should stick to 4 card

Just depends on my mood, after playing too much 4 card I switch to 3 card then back and forth

I think overall I prefer 3 card

Play q74 or better

-3% ev... Ouch! Don't get me started on pairs plus tho. Ez to beat if u have a wheel chair...

I assume you are referring to any pitch game where the wheel chair gives you a lower view point and a better chance at holecarding, correct?

definitely 3 card
never really liked 4 card plus 3 card is your holding queen or better you usually got the nuts
mho? f - table games

q74? nit.


As for me, I've never played 4 card poker and haven't played 3 cd poker in years. I would probably just play 4 card poker to be different, but I would play live poker way before this.

I've always wondered about these games -- are they any fun?

I enjoy both games but prefer 3 card. I do like in 4 card that you can increase the size of your Play bet. Wish they would allow that in 3 card but imagine it would give the player the advantage. Pretty awesome feeling when you squeeze your cards and see 9 9 and do not look at the 3rd. Dealer flips them over and you have a three of a kind

Spotting 1 of the dealer's cards turns that -3% house edge into a 3% player edge. If it's a jack or lower you play all, if it's a queen you play q74, k you play k74 a u play a47 (or better obv). something like that.

Well, its not quite like that. If you spot a rank that equals your high card, you'll want to play the hands that are within the top 2/3rds of hands within that rank. Why top 2/3rds?

For the breakeven hand, EV call needs to equal -1 or better. This is the same as folding all the time with this hand, so we are indifferent between calling and folding.

X = win percentage needed

X*(+2) + (1-X)*(-2) = -1
3X = 1 X = 1/3

A win percentage of 1/3 will be achieved by playing a hand that is precisely at the bottom of top two-thirds range of the remaining two cards.

So if we see a matching high card (Q, K, or A), there are fifty cards remaining in the deck that could be given to the dealer (ignore our two other cards to set the ranking up). there are 1225 combinations that these 50 cards could be given. We'll need to beat 1225/3 = 409 of them to justify playing the hand.

Each rank of 2 cards will yield 15 high card combos, not 16 since one suited combo yields a flush for the dealer.

32 - 15
43, 42 - 30
54, 53, 52 - 45
65-62 - 60
76-72 - 75
87-82 - 90
98-92 - 105

Thru 9 high this yields 420 > 409 combos, therefore if you have a hand that is A, K, or Q high, and you see that one of the dealer's cards matches your high card, do the following based on your other two cards: Raise T2 or better, and fold all others.

Doyle approves this message.
