Poker Three is basically two games in
one. You may bet on one or both of these games. The first game is
called Pair Plus. Pair Plus is very easy, you place a bet, get dealt
a hand and get paid according to your hand (see table below). The
dealer’s hand is not relevant and there is no raising or discarding.
Simply click the “Deal” button, receive your hand, then your
winnings. Click “New Game” and “Rebet” and start over.

Ante and Play is the second game and is a bit more difficult.
First, you place an ante by simply clicking on the “Ante” field
instead of the “Pair Plus Bet” field. Click the “Deal” button. After
you see your hand, decide if you want to fold (and lose your ante)
or Call by placing another wager equal to your ante and see the
dealer’s hand. If you fold at this point, you also lose your Pair
Plus Bet, if you made one. If you decide to Call, your hand is now
compared to the dealer’s hand. The dealer needs a Queen or better to
qualify. The following table shows the possible outcomes.
Dealer does not qualify: Ante wins 1 to 1, play bet is
returned
Dealer qualifies and player beats dealer: Both play and
ante win 1 to 1
Dealer qualifies and dealer beats player: Both
play and ante lose
Dealer qualifies and dealer ties player: Both
play and ante push
In addition the Ante bet has an extra
bonus that does not depend on the dealer's hand and pays as follows
