Thanks for your comment. As the instructions state , the game is a loose derivative of 3 card poker. With any hand it is the player who calls that loses if the hands are both the same (as in modern 3 card brag). A flush is just classed as a flush without any further ranking. With a pair, the other card is discarded, high card - the other 2 are discarded. I took this decision (although a slight simplification ) to keep the game speed higher and move along quicker, more like a fruit machine feel.
