Chinese Poker

Chinese Poker is an interesting game that is a great challenge for avid card players, yet its not very hard to learn. In this game, each player is dealt thirteen cards and the object is to arrange them into two hands of five cards and one of three cards, beating the hands made by the other players. Your three 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. If this rule is not followed, the player breaking it pays a penalty to each opponent. Only three hand types are possible for the front hand: 3-of-a-Kind, pair, and high card. Clean Sweep Hands are natural hands. A Clean Sweep is one of several possible hands with a special ranking that wins automatically. These hands are shown below in descending order:
Name Description
Dragon One of each rank 13
13 Colors 13 cards of one color 13
12 Colors 12 cards of one color 3
6 Pair 6 pairs, 4-of-a-Kind can count as 2 pair 3
3 Straights Straights in front, middle, and back 3
3 Flushes Suited cards in front, middle, and back 3

If you have one of the above Clean Sweep hands, simply click “Submit Natural”. If more than one player has a Clean Sweep hand, the higher ranking hand wins the total unit value for that hand and the value for the lower ranking Clean Sweep hand won't be subtracted. If two Clean Sweep hands have the same ranking, they tie and no money is exchanged between the two players, but they do collect from the other players. If you don't declare a Clean Sweep, it plays as a regular hand.
