Crazy Pineapple Poker- Fun Party Poker Game - 8 views

I have just recently come across one of the most entertaining poker games of all time. Crazy Pineapple Poker is another variant of regular texas hold’em poker with a fruity twist. The game starts out very differently and ends up being the same as hold’em towards the end.

• Like Texas  Hold’em, the 2 players to the left post blinds before the deal.
• Then the changes begin for a brief while. Instead of being dealt 2 hole cards as in Texas Hold’em, each player gets 3 hole cards to begin. After the 3 hole cards are dealt, there’s a round of betting.
• After the betting is complete, the flop is dealt, and another round of betting begins.
• From this point onwards is where the “Crazy” begins- after the second round of betting is done, all players remaining in the hand choose 1 card from their 3 hole cards to discard. So everyone now only has the regular 2 hole cards just like in Texas Hold’em again.
• From this point onwards the game is identical to Texas Hold’em. The turn is dealt, a round of betting happens, the river is dealt, another betting round, and then there’s the showdown. Players can use any combination of the 2 hole cards in their hands and the 5 board or community cards on the table to make the best hand, and the best hand wins the pot.

This game is very exciting and extremely fun to play with a group of poker players looking to have a refreshing take on poker. Let me know if any of you have tried it.
