How to Play Crazy Pineapple

Crazy Pineapple is a poker game that plays much like Texas Hold 'Em, but instead, the players have three pocket cards instead of just two. This gives players more chance to make good hands with the community cards and can make for an exciting twist on a poker game.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Deal three face-down cards to each player. These are the player's pocket cards and the cards they must keep hidden from the rest of the group.
2. Begin a betting round, starting with the player to the left of the dealer. That player should decide if she wants to call or bet a certain amount of chips. Once she calls or bets, play continues clockwise around the table. Players can choose to call the previous bet, raise it, or fold out of the hand.
3. Continue betting until everyone still in the hand has put committed the same number of chips. Deal three cards face up in the middle of the table. These are community cards, with which the players can combine their pocket cards to make a poker hand.
4. Conduct another round of betting. Then, lay one more card face up. Conduct another round of betting and lay one more card face up.
5. Have the players look at their pocket cards and discard one card from it. Then, conduct one more round of betting and have the players who stayed in the hand reveal their cards. The player with the best poker hand combining his pocket cards with three of the community cards on the table wins the pot.
