Chinese Poker

[KingMedicine]

i tried the crappy search function and couldnt come up with any useful results, so i thought id start a new post.

ive been reading up on chinese poker a bit. my friends and i have been playing the same game for about a decade (we call it 13 card paigow -- we also play 18 card paigow 5-5-5-3, which is way more fun). anyway, i read that pokerroom.com has chinese poker on their website, but i cant find it anywhere on the client.

does anyone play chinese poker at pokerroom.com or any other online sites?

does anyone know if a book exists on chinese poker? from what ive read, the game is a big money side game at a lot of the big money tourneys.

from my decade of playing, the 13 card version (as opposed to our 18 card version) is pretty straight forward. much like 7 card paigow, there is a "right" way to play each hand and a "wrong" way to play each hand, which makes it a little odd that the game is becoming so popular right now.

can i hear what other people think about the game and can you let me know where you play it?

thanks!
