Very easy way to get this achievement once you progress to the second island.

When you clear the Harmanse Gas and Repair outpost to the southeast of Thurston Town, you'll unlock a mission called Father's Burden within Thurston Town (which should be shown as a blue exclamation mark on the map). This guy asks you to go get things back from three people. The first thing you need to do is get something back from a gambler. When you talk to him, he will ask you to go win money from people playing poker nearby.

Go to the poker area and pay the $500 buy in. Now just go all in each time with

and keep skipping with

to make it go faster. Because it's a mission you're guaranteed to take all their money, so don't worry if you lose one or two hands. It took me about 5 minutes and once all of them have left the table, you'll get your achievement.

What a great solution! Top notch. Crazy easy. Remember doing it the old fashioned way on x360 and just going to a random poker bar and losing a lot and winning little.

By General Wizzard on 15 Jun 2018 16:47

Man I remembered doing it that way on the 360 originally too. Then I was playing through it to 100% it and came across that mission and was like wow you're kidding it was that easy?

By iTz Canada Ehh on 17 Jun 2018 20:12

Wow thanks!

By Nazule80 on 02 Jul 2018 00:52

Awesome!

I won in the first two hands lol thanks

By BiLLzuMaNaTi on 27 Dec 2018 09:44

Thanks, very nice solution!

By The Mr Killer on 29 Dec 2018 13:30

I lost the first hand but won the next two, achievement popped. So keep going if you lose the first hand.

By GHOSTFIRE403 on 12 Jan 2019 21:46

Thanks man,won the first 2 hands and got it

By BIGFOOT201191 on 24 Jan 2019 21:45

Awsome guide got it first try

By SinSTeRS DEVIL on 02 Mar 2019 17:59

Worked like a charm! Also. The last guy you go to is a great place to get "Love the Boom". Just run to the hill behind them and cook a grenade for a second or two. Easy peasy.

By House2077 on 15 May 2019 22:28

Unless they've patched this (which I doubt but I haven't played it since launch), as long as you continue to do this until you complete the quest, you will unlock it.

By iTz Canada Ehh on 23 May 2019 03:33

Thumbs up! Thanks

By Visions of Gore on 31 May 2019 17:48

Outstanding solution, thumbs up, much appreciated mate

By BrashSPARTAN300 on 06 Aug 2019 08:24

Worked perfect. Thanks.

By MERC DDS on 03 Sep 2019 19:00

Super easy. Got it on my first hand. Great guide.

By DarkKnightKefka on 23 Oct 2019 17:52

Thank you so much! If you're like me just look for the blue exclamation mark, lol

By Ross Wyatt on 24 Nov 2019 09:12

Whoops sorry, I didn't remember if it was super obvious or not but I'll add in just to look for a blue exclamation mark if you're having trouble finding it.

By iTz Canada Ehh on 24 Nov 2019 16:31

Worked brilliantly, thanks.

By nemesis646 on 10 Mar 2020 21:49

So grateful for this guide, I was googling “how to play poker” before this!

By IronopolisRedux on 14 May 2020 21:03

Far easier than attempting to play the poker games ..... thanks !!

By GiveMeANameX on 01 Jun 2020 05:21

I can’t get this to unlock? I’ve done this mission 3 times and made the other player bust out I’ve checked my stats and they say I’ve won $1500 in poker but still doesn’t unlock?

By Jewlez on 24 Jul 2020 12:44

This guide takes about 20 sec. and achievement unlock. THX

By kedar on 02 Aug 2020 18:43

Worked perfectly. In fact I got it the very first hand.

By Earth Djinn on 28 Aug 2020 06:42

I'm glad this is working for others. I keep busting.

By Bastiaen on 08 Sep 2020 17:42

Worked on the first time. Thumbs up.

I know the rules of Poker, and how to win. But where and when can you play Poker?

By HolyHalfDead on 01 Apr 2021 22:51

You can also get the "Love The Boom" achievement near the end of this quest if you don't already have it.

By HyPNiTiiZe x on 04 Sep 2021 23:37

Great solution, got it in 2 hands!

By Ohh Werd on 04 Nov 2021 12:58

Thank you for this solution. Busted out and then won the next 2 hands.

By I am Mindslave on 28 Dec 2021 04:53

Thankssss

By VitorBR33 on 12 May 2022 01:38

Just wanna add that the outpost in question (Harmanse Gas & Repair) that you have to clear for this mission to unlock is at X: 605.9, Y: 488.1

By TheFlaminBean on 20 Oct 2022 21:06

...And the mission itself is at X: 580.6, Y:508.5 :)

By TheFlaminBean on 10 Dec 2022 20:03

I was in the end game so i just went to a poker place near the fast travel and saved outside of it. Went in max bet skipped to see the results and left. If i had a good game i would go outside save and continue if my game was bad just quit out to menu reload my save and try again. It took 30 mins but still faster then restarting the game. Honestly was more fun too. Last achievement i needed to put it in my fully completed list.

By Noble Wolf on 04 Jul 2023 05:13

This worked a treat great guide

By BILLSON9 on 22 Jul 2023 10:00

Nice guide thanks!

By Hellman016 on 08 Jan 2024 18:45

Are you certain you're playing the side mission ITz Canada mentioned and not one of the random poker games?

As OP mentioned a little higher in the comments section...be sure you at the "blue exclamation mark" for the mission

By General Wizzard on 08 Sep 2020 18:21

Worked like a charm. Had to go again a si bust the first time. Second time went through the motions and got the achievements before I got out the seat.

By Acurate Bob on 14 Sep 2020 10:29

I would like to add that I also got

The Rock Always Wins achievement in Far Cry 3 Classic Edition worth 45 pointsFully distract 25 enemies with rocks.

during the next section of the aforementioned mission, where I had to steal something from an enemy. Just hid and threw some rocks near the marked bloke and waited for him to fully do the "distracted cicle" a few times...

By Engl4ndr on 14 Jun 2022 00:58

It's written in the solution. There is a mission checkpoint and the poker area is shown on the map, unless this has been changed in an update lately which I don’t think is the case as it seems to be working for others.

Quick guide:

1) Any winnings you get can be secured by quitting the table (buy-in's will be substracted)
2) Only winnings will count. You can lose too but it won't substract from your total winnings and progress towards this achievement.
3) You can check the progress by going to the Pause Menu --> Handbook --> --> World

Strategy
You can get this achievement by clearing out an Expert Buy-in table twice. If you're unlucky like me this might take a while. So I recommend going in with about 1000 bucks and saving before entering the pokerplace of your choosing.
4) If you do this late-game you can go the most north-eastern town of the second / southern island. The pokerplace is the shortest distance from the fast travel point compared to the other places

Then just be going all in before the flop when you have good cards.
Then skip with

and see if you win. If you lose just repeat this strategy until you run out of money. Then dashboard and start again
However you might not clear out the ENTIRE table at once but if you manage to clear two people you already won 500 bucks. So quit the table and try again. As this is cumulative, every dollar you WIN will help towards this achievement. Nothing is substracted so even if you suck or are unlucky with this, you can get it fairly quickly.

- Wait until you unlock the Southern Island

- When a side quest named "Father's Burden" shows up in the North-eastern side of this island, go there and talk to the guy

- Eventually you'll get to a poker game, when there go ALL IN and skip with RB until you get the cheev

What helped me out was to - Make sure to end the game everytime you make a win. Only then it counts to the total winnings. You can also look up your total winnings in the Handbook under "Progress" -> I believe it's (Square) to get into "Statistics". There, under "World" you may see your total winnings.

Also, by playing the games on the "Skilled" level, you can still see your Chances in every turn. This is if you, like me, aren't really good at knowing the rules of playing Poker, you can still get it. The Chances screen helped me understand what wins and what doesn't. I believe it's sorted from bottom to top.

After liberating certain Outposts, Poker will become available to play in certain little villages or towns. The Poker locations are shown to you via a Black Spade (card shape) icon. For this achievement you do not have to win $1500 all in one game or session. It's accumulative over the course of the game, so feel free to play when you can.

To win decent money, you're going to want to play the $250 buy-in games. Now to actually win profit money, you'll need to get over that $250 buy-in. So if you leave a game with $251 in your games bank, then you've made $1 and have $1499 to get.

The game of Poker isn't too hard to play and there are helpful note pages you can refer to if you need help. Sometimes you'll lose a few times in a row, while others you'll get a good hand and can be up to $750! It's based on luck and how you pay. If you also watch the video below, there's a nice little trick to try out for easy winnings.

To see your current earnings, head to you Handbook and press to go to the Statistics. Now scroll down to World and it'll be under there.

The most convenient time to make the trophy is when the southern island opens. In a place called Terson, where according to the main plot you will have to find the mercenary Sam.

So, after activating the tower in this area, a side quest will open in which the “fisherman in a white Panama hat” will ask you to return three of his things. We are interested in the necklace. We go to the bar, nearby the radar will point you to a person from whom you need to pick up the very necklace that belongs to our fisherman. In exchange for the necklace, the character will ask you to go to a bar and win back the 300 bucks he lost in poker. Let's go. Entrance to the game is 500, you don’t need to choose a difficulty level, the tips work. We win the table and leave with 2000 in our pocket, we get

The quest is called Father's Will

By Zero0 on 07 Aug 2018 14:46

I would like to add that in addition to the tower, you also need to clear the outpost next to this place (in the east)

By Dizlight on 04 Jun 2018 00:40

For me this was the most difficult trophy. I knocked out for about 40 minutes. In general, the scheme is this: when your opponents raise the bet, immediately fold the cards - you have no chance (of course there are, but the likelihood of this is extremely low). And so little by little you can win 100-200 dollars from them.

By Supernagibator on 16 Jul 2020 20:16

I received the trophy at the first shop where you can play Poker and in at least 5 minutes, depending on the randomness.
I had $2000 in my wallet.
And so, the way, we play with the pros, $250. We immediately go all-in, we win. We press “O”, we exit, And so on in a circle until they give us the trophy.

By Hamilion9 on 20 Jun 2020 15:51

Can be done in a couple of minutes. After you capture the avantost closest to this area, the side quest “Father's Will” will open to you. When it comes to poker, choose to go all in every time and keep the trophy in your pocket.

By JinBeat on 24 Nov 2022 12:52

Knocked out in 10 minutes
Anywhere you can play poker
Save before the game - play poker - all-in - win
Let's play while we have money, the trophy is cumulative
If you don't win, load the save and repeat.

By ObitoUch on 14 Feb 2023 20:21

I received a trophy after completing the game (no one wanted to play poker with me (there were no game signs on the map), and after finding the tables, the game did not start). I had to load the save (luckily it turned out to be uploaded to network storage). In general, the scheme is this: we go all-in, after winning, go to the nearest fast travel (we sell something in the box - then it will save), if we lose, then we load up and run again.
