Three-Putt Poker

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Off lately, the three putt poker game is in rage. However, not many people know about it. Three putt poker is a betting game on golf, which also combines some aspects of poker, along with the performance of the golfer in the ground.

With the beginning of each round, the members of the group would ante up the initial bet (supposedly $5 each) and every player in the round is then dealt one card each. For every green on the front nine, the golfer who three-putts would be required to add to the existing pot. For an instance, if there is a primary bet of $5, then a 3-putt would require an additional $1 to the pot. But for every single golfer who records one-putt is dealt an extra playing card.

With the end of the front nine, the golfer with the best poker hand would win the pot and the game would start all over again for the next round. The amount of the bet is to be decided by the members of the group. However, the variation remains the same such as for an initial bet of $1, the result of a three-putt would be a quarter. On the other hand, if there is a higher initial bet of $10, then the three-putt would require an additional $2.

Just like the regular game of poker, luck plays an important role here as well. it is likely that one golfer might get five additional cards and another might have just one card. It is also possible that the player with one card can win the pot if no other golfer can beat it.
