The hand rankings in the three card brag are entirely different from the three card poker. In the British brag, the highest hand is called a prial. This card combination is basically made up of three cards all having the same values. It is like the three-of-a-kind in poker. The hands rank the same as in all brag games, 3 card brag being the most popular. 3 x 3s is the highest hand as the whole game revolves around the number 3, 3 of a kind is known as a prial. The 3 card is only really important in a prial, a running flush or a run. Hands lower than this just play on face value. Hands best to worst. 3 Card Brag Hand Rankings; These are the hands you can have in 3 Card Brag, ranked from highest to lowest in value: Three Threes (Prial of threes) – Any trio of threes in a hand, regardless of suit, is the highest rated hand in 3 Card Brag. 3 Card Brag Hands Similarly the best “running flush” (a three card straight flush) is A23, rather than AKQ, along with the best “run” (three card straight). However, a pair of 3s has no enhanced ranking and only beats a pair of 2s or a hand containing no better than a high card.

Is there a 'game mechanism' reason 3-3-3 is the highest 'Prial'? Why not 7-7-7? Given that, why isn't 3-3-A superior to A-A-3?


I don't know. Maybe someone who knows the rules to real Brag can shed some light on it.
It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

Gee, fifty percent voted for that doughnut (English and German) combined. Strange.
As for Bridge, I don't think it will die out.
Dormitories, graduate schools, military bases all have non-stop bridge games. Yachties always have a deck of cards though gin rummy seems to be the most popular game. Even a Panama Bingo game for Tupperware-like prizes had people with playing cards all night long, some of them playing bridge.
Things change. Been a long time since Faro was played but it was all over the American West and the Hollywood Movies.
Considering trends in computer games, slot machines may soon become more akin to team efforts. Many slot machines now have 'couples seating'. I think those predicting the death of Bridge are going to have a long wait.

It's tradition. The hand rankings are just based around 3. Every card game has seen variations on hand rankings, not unusual.
Assume the worst, believe no one, and make your move only when you are certain that you are unbeatable or have, at worst, exceptionally good odds in your favor.
