Chinese Poker (C Poker)
Ever wished you could play multiple hands at the
same table? With Chinese Poker, you will. Create three simultaneous
hands, do battle with your opponents, and you can walk away
with big winnings.
Rules
Each player is dealt 13 cards. The object is to arrange
them into 2 hands of 5 cards and one of 3 cards, beating
the hands made by the other players.
The 3 hands consist of a "back" hand of 5 cards,
a "middle" hand of 5 cards and a "front"
hand of 3 cards. The back hand must beat the middle hand,
and the middle hand must beat the front hand. Otherwise,
the player pays a penalty to each opponent. Only 3 hand
types are possible for the front hand: 3-of-a-Kind, pair,
and high card. Straights and flushes typically don't count
(see Clean Sweeps below.)
Click on each card to select it from your total of 13, and
to make it part of your front, middle, or back hand
.
EXAMPLE:
Say you’re dealt the following
cards:
You could arrange them like this:
Front hand
Middle hand
Back hand
|
The back hand, a straight flush, beats the middle hand,
4-of-a-Kind, which beats the front hand, 3-of-a-Kind.
The game stakes are quoted in dollars per unit. Once the
hands are played, each player compares his 3 hands against
those of each of the other players. So in a 4-player game,
each player makes 3 separate comparisons, one against each
other player.
You win 1 unit for each corresponding hand of another player
that you beat and lose 1 for each hand that beats you. When
the hands match, you neither win nor lose. Here's an example.
| Player A |
Front Hand
 |
Middle Hand
 |
Back Hand
 |
| Player B |
Front Hand
 |
Middle Hand
 |
Back Hand
 |
| Player C |
Front Hand
 |
Middle Hand
 |
Back Hand
 |
| Player D |
Front Hand
|
Middle Hand
|
Back Hand
|
Don't forget, your back hand goes head-to-head against
each of the other players' back hands, middle vs. middle,
etc., so:
A vs. B
A wins every hand.
A wins 3 units from B.
A vs. C
A wins the back, C the middle and front.
C wins 1unit from A.
A vs. D
D wins the back, A the middle and front.
A wins 1 unit from D.
B vs. C
C wins every hand.
C wins 3 units from B.
B vs. D
D wins the back and front, B the middle.
D wins 1 unit from B.
C vs. D
D wins the back, C the middle and front.
C wins 1 unit from D.
So tallying everything, A gains 3, B loses 7, C gains 5
and D loses 1.
IslandPoker.com offers 2 versions of Chinese Poker, Western
and Eastern.
When you select a Chinese Poker table from the Lobby, check
the Type column for whether the table you're about to join
uses Western or Eastern rules.
In Western Chinese Poker, a player who wins the majority
of segments earns an additional point.
So if a player wins 2 of 3 segments against an opponent,
he earns 2 units for his winning segments, loses 1, and
gains 1 for winning the majority of segments. The player
thus nets +2 from that opponent.
Eastern Chinese Poker awards bonuses for certain hands:

We know that if a player wins exactly 2 hands against a
particular opponent, he'd earn 2 units for his winning hands
and lose 1 for his losing hand for a net +1 from that opponent.
When a bonus hand is involved, the winning hand earns only
the bonus hand points. So if a player wins all 3 hands with
a 4-of-a-Kind in the back, he wins 6 units.
Also, the bonus doubles if the hand is of the same type
as the opponent's, but of higher rank. So if Player A's
back hand is K K K K 5 and Player B’s is 9 9 9 9 3,
Player A earns a bonus of 8 units, not 4.
