When playing three card hand poker, one of the first things you need to know is the value of the card hands, themselves. The first thing to do is to brush up on the rules of the table you are playing at. Then, consider the following tips for three card poker.

Take a look at these:

• A Pair: 1 to 1
• A Flush: 4 to 1
• A Straight: 6 to 1
• A Three of a Kind: 30 to 1
• Straight Flush: 40 to 1

In this listing of the hand values, you may notice that a straight has a higher ranking value than a flush. This is because there are fewer ways to make a three card straight than a three card flush. As with most types of poker games, in three card poker, the aces are both high and low to a straight. The highest hand you can get is an ace high straight flush.
