Default Re: chinese poker

Chinese poker isn't really poker. It a card game based on poker hands. The rules are very simple.

Each player gets dealt 13 cards. So you can only have 4 players. Each player then makes 3 hands of 5 cards, 5 cards and 3 cards. The first 5 card hand must be better than the second 5 card hand and the second 5 card hand must be better than the 3 card hand. Straights and Flushes don't count for the 3 card hand. To win a hand your first hand must beat all others first hands, yada, yada, yada. Points/chips/$$$ are then awarded based on who won each hand. Usually each hand is worth the same. There are lots of variations and some play you can surrender before you play your hands to save money.
