If you’ve played Guts poker before there is one small rule change you need to know.

After the deal is over everyone needs to decide whether they want to declare in or out of the pot, starting with the player to the dealer’s left. Once all of the antes are in the pot the dealer can deal out three cards to everyone that’s in the hand. If you don’t want to play the hand all you need to do is fold your cards into the muck like any other poker game. If you do want to stay in the hand then you simply place a bet equal to the ante into the pot and declare that you’re staying “IN” the hand. Rather than betting players need to decide whether they’d like to stay in the hand. If you make it to small then you’re going to end up with tiny pots since there aren’t any rounds of betting in this poker game. You can set the ante as any amount that you want, but don’t make it too small. When you’re ready to begin playing 357 Poker, everybody needs to place an ante into the pot. To start playing 3*5*7 Poker all you need is one deck of cards and at least 1 other player.

There are other ways to win money while playing the hand, but the main pot isn’t awarded to a player until after a minimum of five hands, although it often takes longer than that. Players need to win multiple hands (AKA legs) before they have a chance to win the pot. The reason it takes longer to finish is because the game isn’t over at the end of the hand. 357 Poker is a variation of guts poker, but this game takes a lot longer to finish then basically every other poker game.
