Still looking for someone to inform me how betting is done in this game? Is each hand played like a small sng where the winner takes quadruples his investment and everyone else loses theirs?

For vietnamese rules, the suits are a differnet order but that doens't really matter. There are no flushes or full houses, straights can be as short as three running cards or can go as long as you can make it.

You can 'chop' a 2. So the nut 2 isn't really the nut, it can be beat by 3 consecutive pairs (667788) or quads.


henrikrh, I've never played for money online but when playing for money at school it was a certain $/card left in your hand at the end of the game.

For example playing $.25/card, if someone wins and you have 4 cards in your hand, you paid the winner $1.0

There were some other rules but I think we just made those up depending on who was playing. I'm not sure if this system is widespread or not though.
