Write the rule card first
| Question | What must be settled |
|---|---|
| Selection | Choose any three, discard privately or follow a fixed rule? |
| Information | When does a player see the fourth card? |
| Wild cards | Are any ranks wild in addition to the extra card? |
| Equal result | How are equivalent best-three hands resolved? |
An original worked exercise
For a choose-any-three lesson, take Q♠ Q♥ Q♦ 5♣. The four candidate triples include Q♠ Q♥ Q♦, a trail; the other three triples contain a pair. The best classic three-card selection is the trail. List all four choices first so the selection is auditable.
Test an edge case before starting
Pick a second example that stresses the rule: an ace, a wild card, equivalent final hands or an extra-card choice. Ask every learner to explain the result. A disagreement is useful evidence that the written rule needs more detail. Resolve it before dealing more examples.
Classic tools have a boundary
The browser hand comparator supports three-card classic no-joker hands only. It must not be used as a decision engine for this variant unless the exercise reduces to a supported classic hand after an explicitly defined selection.
