three-card poker

Three-card poker is a house-banked stud game where each player and the dealer receive three cards dealt face down. Players make two initial bets: one on a center circle and another on an ante square. The center circle bet offers payouts for specific hand values, such as a pair or a three-card straight. The ante bet is a wager against the dealer's hand. Players can choose to fold or raise. If the dealer doesn't have a qualifying hand (queen high or better), the player wins on the ante bet, and the raise is canceled. If the dealer qualifies, both the ante and raise are wagered against the dealer. Hands rank downward: three of a kind, three cards of the same suit in sequence, three cards of the same suit, three cards in sequence, a pair, and high card.12
