There is a pretty new pokergame which I discovered and I think you can't play it at many pokersites, chinese poker is very different: it is not done with betting but just picking cards and place them in a tactical order. I don't think it will become very popular but maybe under beginners it will because when you play it well everyone plays almost exactly the same way and it will only depend on luck.
I'm trying it now with play money to win real money (that's possible at bountypoker which I guess is a pretty new site, the graphics are awesome but it's very quiet...) and play with that at holdém tourneys because I don't really like it but you can make very nice profits because when you figure out how you should play it you can easily win against some fishy fishes

It's good that some poker sites introduced chinese poker to their tables, i think it's a good thing to have new things from time to time
The biggest suporter of this game was Ivey form what i know, he played tons of this poker with Barry, i think on youtube you can also find a vid of them playing in the jetplane.

I have never seem a game of chinese poker played so i dont really know what the game is all about. But whenever the poker pro's are interviewed on television they always seem to mention gambling on chinese poker and the vast amounts being gambled

There will be new additions for the game always. the thing is that not many of them will stay in the market for two long. We have seen such examples in the past, which after the introducing, failed in very short time.

Chinese poker was not a new Kind of poker game, but it was verry interesting to find it at the online tables in the near future. It gives really new motivation to Play some other gaming styles like only texas holdem.

Haha good luck with the chinese poker it is very hard and I just read about it and gave up after the first paragraph it is too hard for the weaks mind and I do have a tired brain after work. Anyway if the game is harder and you apply yourself more you get edge over the new players so you can make money.. But you will have to find some good players pools because it is not popular yet in some places!
