What is a Straight in 3-Card Poker?

A straight in 3-Card Poker is a hand that consists of three cards of consecutive rankings. The cards do not need to be of a matching suit, as that would make the hand a straight flush. The lowest-ranked straight you can have in Three Card Poker is a 3, 2, Ace hand, while the highest one is made from an Ace, King, and Queen.

When it comes to payouts, the straight is a middle-of-the-road Three-Card Poker hand that pays 6:1 on a winning bet. However, you can get better payouts with some optional bets like Pair Plus, Ante Bonus, and 6-Card Bonus. The first two pay 5:1, while the 6-Card Bonus pays 10:1.

In terms of probabilities, this hand happens on average 3.26% of the time. In a standard 52-card deck, there are 720 possible combinations for making a straight hand.
