Three aces are the best trio and three twos are the lowest. The ranking of the possible hands, from high to low, is as follows. Each has the option to look at their three-card hand before betting (playing seen) or to leave their cards face down on the table (playing blind). The players then bet on who has the best three card hand. The dealer deals out the cards one at a time until everyone has three cards. Everyone places this minimum stake in the pot - a collection of money in the centre of the table, which will be won by one of the players. Any reasonable number of players can take part it is probably best for about 4 to 7 players.īefore playing it is necessary to agree the value of the minimum stake (which I will call one unit).
An international 52 card pack is used, cards ranking in the usual order from ace (high) down to two (low). It is an Indian gambling game, also known as Flush (or Flash), and is almost identical to the British game 3 Card Brag.
