Abstract: A playing card game and wagering method which involves each player playing a three card hand and placing a wager with an option of adding a side wager. Two cards are dealt face down to each player by the dealer. Each player has the opportunity to wager a side wager after inspecting his two cards. The dealer deals himself one card face up; he exposes each player's two cards and matches them with his to form a three card hand to identify winners.
