Some casino table games are purely luck-based. I covered some of those<\/a> in yesterday’s article. Most require some degree of skill. The games listed below require little strategy beyond some beginner poker knowledge.<\/p>\n

High Card Flush<\/h3>\n

High Card Flush ignores all poker hands except flushes. The goal is to make a hand with seven cards of the same suit. Most hands will have two or three flushed cards.<\/p>\n

High Card Flush requires an ante and has some optional side bets. The ante requires a raise equal to it to stay in the game so it is important to have enough chips to finish the hand. The player must beat the dealer to win the ante and raise bets. The dealer must have at least a nine-high three-card flush to qualify. <\/p>\n

When dealt cards, figure out which suit you have the most. If you hold four or more of the same suit, raise. If the hand only has a three-card flush, raise with a ten, eight, six or higher. Otherwise, fold. The house edge<\/strong> when accounting for the raise is 1.58%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Three Card Poker<\/h3>\n

Three Card Poker is one of the most popular poker table games. The player makes an ante bet with an optional pair plus wager. The pair plus does not have any skill involved and allows for larger payouts on big hands. <\/p>\n

The ante requires a raise to stay in play. There is an easy strategy behind this. If the player is dealt a hand that is queen, six, four or better, the correct play is to raise. This is an equal amount to the ante. Make sure to have a bet left over to make the raise with after anteing. If you do not raise the hand, it is folded.<\/p>\n

A queen, six, four is below any queen and seven as the queen ties and the seven beats the six. The goal is to beat the dealer\u2019s three cards if you raise. A straight beats a flush in Three Card Poker. The house edge<\/strong> when including raises is just over two percent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Caribbean Stud Poker<\/h3>\n

Caribbean Stud Poker is a five-card poker game. The player makes an ante with an optional bonus side bet. The cards are dealt with four of the dealer\u2019s five placed down. This game requires two wagers to raise as it is double the ante, as opposed to equal to it like in Three Card Poker. If you do not have enough money to raise, your hand will be folded. <\/p>\n

A player should raise any pair or better. Any unpaired hand that does not have an ace and king in it is a fold. If you have an ace-king hand without a pair or better, the Wizard of Odds<\/a> suggests raising:<\/p>\n
