I've tried it live a few times against 2 others who were good at it, and I got my *beep* kicked pretty bad But it was fun though, have no idea if it's possible to play it online.

Im curious how this game works, heard it doesn't require as much skill as nl holdem for example but it sounds fun to try sometimes.Im sure i would never buyin for money against good players though...

action poker is advertising they offer chinese poker. as soon as i get my free bankroll there, we can give it a try (if the blinds are not too high). i read about it, but havent played chinese poker myself so far.

Cenccu..thx..just saw at actionpoker that they had it..great..in my opinion, the game is quit simple, but it required high skills to win if u get bad cards, in opposit to holdem, u can fold if u got bad cards, u cant do it in chinese poker..

yep action poker has it then, was a fun game but takes some time to get used to, do flushes count on top 3, i made lots of mistakes trying to learn getting a amazing hand then a bad hand with a high on top, but its best just to have 3 medium hands, i think :}

I've played a casino version of this kin of poker but it was with 7 cards and you had to make 2 hands: one of 5 cards and one of 2 cards... it wasn't bad. i think i'll try it on action poker

Posted by tinim: best top 3 is a set..then 1 pair, there AA with K kicker is the second best. straight or flush doesnt count.
If this are the rules, its a different game from the one i played at the casino... If you have 3 hands: 2 are better than ur opponent ad one is not... do you take 2/3 of the pot?

Never tried chinese poker online :O It is fun to play live with 4 people though It would be weird to do it online, cuz sometimes you need more time for certain hands than others, how would that work :O A time limit might not be enough for certain people etc. hmm..
But it was fun though, have no idea if it's possible to play it online.
