A new game came out in southern Florida today called 3-Card Thunder, invented by House Way Gaming. It's simple and pretty similar to Three Card Poker, but somewhat better in my opinion.
If you have a pair or better, you can really raise the stakes by betting x3 on the Raise, which is always a good decision strategically. So, what's the catch? If you win when the dealer has a 10-high or worse, the Raise bet pushes - if the dealer has a Jack-high through Ace-high, the Ante bet pushes, but if the dealer has a pair or better, neither bet pushes.
You can play the game on my website if you want, or you can play on House Way Gaming's demo.
For those wondering about the basic strategy, you should fold Queen-Six and lower. I encourage people to try out this game if they see it, hopefully it will be in Vegas or Atlantic City soon.
