Just to add some more information.
Chinese Poker is also called Xap Xam Chuong (Sap Sam Cheung), Luosong Pai Jiu, Russian Poker and sometimes even 13-card Poker. There’s more information on this game on
http://www.vinagames.com/ - I think you can even play it online there (not that I encourage online playing, I am simply giving the information).
