Has anyone ever played this game? I know alot of big time pros like to mess around with it in cash games and I have been playing it with some friends in the past month. And its a really fun game. For those of you who have never heard of chinese poker Ill give you some quick rules.

Up to Four players can play and you deal out 13 cards to each player

Then each player makes 3 poker hands (5 card, 5 cards, and 3 cards)

Your back hand(5 cards) is you best hand then your middle hand (5 cards) is your second best and your front hand (3 cards) is the worst hand

Then you turn over your cards and go against each players hands. And you get 1pt if you beat someone 2 of 3 hands and 3 pts if you beat someone in all hands

Then what ever limit you are playing the points are equal to the limits so in $1-$3 1pt would be $1 and 3pts would be $3. You could also play a $2-$6 limit where a sweep gets you 3x more.


At first when you play Chinese it may seem like a crap shoot but the strategy comes in when you have to set up your hands and the person who can do that consistantly win.
