All About Three Card Poker with Michael "Wizard of Odds" Shackleford

[@PimpMasterT]

three card poker surprised the hell out of me. it is so much fun and easy to play!

[@iBrandon2K]

Best explained video right here on 3 card poker. Very smooth thank you

[@jerrydaniels7003]

Does the number of players have an effect on the players advantage/disadvantage because of the number of cards being dealt? Is it better to play one-on-one or with multiple players? Thanks, and really enjoy watching your easy-to-understand videos.

[@skittlecar1]

It doesn't matter. The only thing that changes is the speed of the game. 1 on 1 will have many more hands per hour. And grind you down faster.

[@gary2353ify]

I am curious im a pit boss at a casino that has a 1 4 6 25 40 paytable wonder how that changes the house advantage

[@aaron22372]

If the player has a straight and the dealer has a higher straight, does that mean that the Ante bet is effectively a "push?" In other words, the initial Ante bet is lost, but the Ante Bonus pays 1:1? Of course, the Play bet is lost in this case, but dealers are often confused about the Ante bet.

[@voicetube]

Wow, been playing this game for awhile and never knew about the Ante Bonus rule!! Of course the player usually wins with a straight or higher.... but not always!

[@VicVega3]

Sorry Caesars casinos, keep forgetting they re-branded (d'oh). Thanks much for the info, I will check it out there. Love the videos, need to come more often than once a month.

[@DproximaSlots]

Great tutorial. May try it out now that I know how it works. Thx!

[@PrettyLady7282]

thanks Mike!

[@VicVega3]

@americancasinouide I noticed the 6 card bonus button on the table but there was no explanation about what it is (I do know but many wont) and what the odds are on making the bet. While I understand this is not an option in all 3 card games it is an option in all Harrah's casinos on the strip.

[@PimpMasterT]

4 card poker, you get dealt 5 cards, dealer gets dealt 6, best poker hand out of 4 cards only. Dealer ALWAYS qualifies. 4 of a kind is the biggest payout. there's also a bet called "Aces up" which is similar to "pairs plus". need 2 aces or higher to get paid on it. be awesome if ACG could upload a tutorial of 4 card! love that game.

[@AI_Image_Master]

I know a lot of these comments are old but if you are still watching this video, whatever you do, DO NOT play every hand. That will more then double the house edge to 7.65%. If I have a high card of 10, why would I play a hand that has 0% chance of winning. Think about it.

[@balooko31]

This may not be a great strategy, but if I'm at a full table and I see just about everyone "play" and I have a junk hand (not Q64 or above), I tend to think the high cards may be out and the dealer (hopefully) has a non-qualifying hand.

[@johnathanutke9572]

Do you have to beat the dealer to win your pair plus? If not, then if you fold do you still get it?

[@SouravKumarRoy651]

You need not beat the dealer to win the pair plus. If you're having a pair or better in your 3 cards, then you'll be paid the pair plus bonus. Even if you fold, you'll be paid the pair plus bonus provided you've bet the pair plus and you've a pair or better in your 3 cards.

[@johnathanutke9572]

Does a straight beat a flush?

[@thepostfk]

Yes

[@jasonshores8884]

Sooo🤔 Mr.Utke, hopefully You discovered 🧐 that you were misinformed years ago. That actually, the 'straight' absolutely, positively 100% of time....will NEVER🙅‍♂️ Beat &/or Win over a 'flush'. FACTS. After that guy who had told you wrongly....by chance, He🤑 didn't happen to ask You to Play 🃏Poker With Him, now 🙄did he?!? 😆😁😂

[@ramindavani]

My question from Michael is that does he recommend to make the pair plus bet at all. If so, how often should we make that bet. To me the pair plus bet is a sucker bet.

[@evanpatterson7815]

At 2:09 it silly when the dealer pays ante with the pair plus wager

[@vodkatonic814]

Why is that silly? It saves time rather than putting the quarter back in her tray only to pull it out again to pay him.

[@TheJackpotGents]

Michael's answer to your question is - "The answer is on my web site. It depends on the exact pay table. Only the Caesars casinos have that side bet, so I didn’t mention it in the video."

[@theSpicyHam]

I went to 60,000,000,000 coins on a Casino War game (made by Empire Casino, it's googla-ble), and later the app makers apparantly assumed I am fraud, added a tweak to their software, I instantly lost it all in 1 day, rofl, many times cards like me 2, and dealer 3, or me 3 and dealer 4 show up

[@Dealermann]

I am a dealer and that was a very good assumption of the game. With 1 exception. If you play every hand. "Every Hand". Your odds are 60 - 40 in the players favor. It's hard to do .. but try it. Because the dealer must have a Q or better. I get my tables to play blind " Don't look at your cards " lol .. and it's a better winning strategy than looking and folding. This is what the casino is counting on . But play to have fun is the real name of any casino game. To have fun .. Good luck all.

[@gene8172]

If the odds were 60-40 in the player's favor, players wouldn't play any other casino game and only play TCP and play blind.Every gambling website would say so. And no casino would ever have a bet with a HE in the player's favor, This is a stupid statement and do not follow this advice.

[@TheJackpotGents]

Michael says - Ante & Play has the lower element of risk and is thus the better bet. You can read more on his web site at - wizardofodds(dot)com/ask-the-wizard/three-card-poker/

[@oscarvalencia9485]

PLAY ONLY WHEN THE CARDS ARE SHUFFLED BY HAND

[@gene8172]

Why? The shuffler isn't stacking the deck.

[@collaberatorzseanhuang8952]

Man! Such a high house advantage. How can this game attracts the good card players? I'm sticking to craps & bj.

[@chrisdias7549]

thats at the creek casio lol

[@vodkatonic814]

3-card is fun to play, but don't play for long or with high amounts... casino edge is too high!

[@borntobe4419]

Will this help me grow a beard?

[@borntobe4419]

If the casino likes it, ur damned
