There's little strategy but players simply have to beat the dealer's 3-card poker hand. Even better, if you beat the dealer when he holds a 'qualifying hand' of queen-high or better. Where Caribbean Stud is played like poker, with the best 5-card poker hand winning, 3-card Poker is played with just three cards. Similar to the classic English card game of Brag, 3-Card Poker is a popular casino game where players take on the dealer.
