Crazy Pineapple Poker- Fun Party Poker Game

December 30, 2009

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.

Got something to say?





Poker is a family of card games that share betting rules and usually hand rankings. Poker games differ in the way the cards are dealt, formation of hands, whether the high or low hand wins the pot , limits on bets and how many rounds of betting are allowed. The action always proceeds to the left. Each player in turn must either match the maximum previous bet or fold, losing the amount bet so far and all further interest in the hand. A player who matches a bet may also raise, increasing the bet. The betting round ends when all players have either matched the last bet or folded. If all but one player fold on any round, the remaining player collects the pot without showing his hand. If more than one player remains in contention after the final betting round, the hands are shown and the winning hand takes the pot.
