Chinese Poker      Chinese Poker differs from most forms of the game because players play three separate hands at the same time. Players are dealt 13 cards, and must arrange them into 3 hands. A "Back" hand of five cards, a "Middle" hand of five cards, and a "Front" hand of three cards. The Back hand must be of equal or greater value than the Middle hand, and the Middle hand must be of equal or greater value than the Front hand. Straights and Flushes do not count in the Front hand.      Score is kept in points. Points are equal to a betting unit. Players compare all three hands against every player at the table. The player with a higher Back hand wins a point. The player with a higher Middle hand wins a point. The player with the higher Front hand wins a point.      Eastern and Western versions of Chinese Poker are available for play online.
