3 Way Action Video Poker

When playing 3-Way Action Poker is played with a standard 52 card deck. There's 3 parts to the game and 3 paytables, one for each stage of the game.

Firstly you are dealt 5 cards and there's a paytable for that. You will typically get a payout for any hand above a pair of 3's. There's varying payouts for different 4 of Kinds.

Then you draw any number of cards to improve your first 5 cards cards. There is then a paytable for the new hand. Up to now the game is very similar to the Double Pay video poker game. You need a minimum of a pair of Jacks to get a payout at this stage.

You are then dealt two more cards more to make a 7 card stud hand which again has it's own paytable with the lowest paying hand being 3 of a kind.

An interesting game but not an easy one to work out a strategy for.
