Betweenwater Pier

Allocate Ante and deal two cards. See the spread, then Stand or Raise before confirming the third.

Betweenwater Pier is a free Red Dog third-card simulator. A fresh six-deck312-card pool is reshuffled every round, with one initial burn. Ace is high14; J11/Q12/K13; suits are equal. Everyone shares the same two outer cards and future third, with independent free fictional-point choices.

Allocate Ante before the outer cards. Consecutive values return the Ante and end without a third. Equal values immediately draw a third: three equal ranks pay11:1 net, otherwise return the Ante. Neither case permits Raise. If values are neither equal nor consecutive, the spread is the number of ranks STRICTLY BETWEEN them:4 and7 has spread2, winning5 or6. Choose Stand with no extra points, or Raise in10-unit increments up to the original Ante. Space/Allocate prepares the choice; Enter/Confirm seals it. Reset clears only the unconfirmed decision and never refunds a locked Ante. Empty decision is not Stand.

Only after every actual decision is sealed does new entropy determine the third from the remaining finite pool. The third strictly between wins; matching either boundary or outside loses. Spread1 pays net5:1;2 pays4:1;3 pays2:1;4..11 pays1:1. Both Ante and Raise receive the same net odds, with stakes returned once. Ante20/Raise10 at spread2 returns150 on a win,0 on loss; Stand returns100 on win. Three equal with Ante20 returns240. Consecutive/pair without three equal returns20. No folding or surrender. Every card, spread, initial stake, decision, exact return/net payment and competition placement stays in visible history.
