Three card brag is a simple form of poker; you are dealt only three cards and these you can’t change. If you don’t look at your cards you’re a ‘blind man’ and you only put in half the stake. Three of any kind is the highest you can get: the odds are four hundred and twenty- five to one. Then it’s a running flush - you know, all the same suit running in order; then a straight, then a flush, then a pair, and finally whatever the highest card you are holding. There are some tell- tale signs that are valuable; I am not going to tell you them because it took me long enough to learn them, but these can only help a player, not make one. So you want to play?
