You really don't have to read the book...you just need to remember how many face cards are in the pile...how many face cards went by....and yes...you have to concentrate hard.

well, you can do that to get a feel for what it is, but depending on what the count is, you use different strategies, mostly just in changing your bet. you play basic strategy when the count is within a certain range, and low count strategy and high count strategy accordingly... so you need to learn how to play 3 different way essentially, and you use those different ways depending on the count. learning the strategies is easy, because they're all relatilvey similar... just minor differences... keeping the count is where the skill comes in. the book (i've read lots, this is by far the best) really helps you learn how to keep the count. most books stores don't carry it, but amazon.com does.

here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...books&n=507846

why should I use google to find a website about it because you want to know? I already know how to play, if you want to learn, YOU search for it.

Three card poker really seems to be in favour of the player. I can't even believe that casinos have it. I would say it is definately the best way to win money.
