The poker game in my city is different from others.

narc · Mar 24, 2026

Here we have some different rules and we play with 3 cards instead of 2. Furthermore, we consider a sequence of 3 cards as a three-of-a-kind, for example, 456 is a three-of-a-kind, this three-of-a-kind beats a three-of-a-kind of 444, because we decide by the sum of the cards; the first three-of-a-kind has 15 points and the second has 12 points... and that's how the game works.

There are other rules that don't apply, for example: straights and flushes are not valid, meaning they are not considered valid hands under these rules.

If this is interesting, let me know, I can give you more information.

Maybe one day I'll be able to play online in this new format.

I hope that others will also play if the online mode exists.

It s tough...we have other card games here for example, that do not exist online, because almost every village has it`s "own" interpretation of the game..while the name of the game is the same everywhere..there are various different rules to it.

It's very different; I found it quite complicated.

It could be simply referred to as a different variant, do you have a name for it?
And does 456 lose to 666?

ExMoroccan · Jun 29, 2026

that sounds very complicated, do you have any courses online that we can learn ?

Nameless14 · Jun 30, 2026

That actually sounds really interesting. I've never heard of a version like that before. It's always fun to see how different regions develop their own poker variants. I'd definitely like to hear more about the rules, especially how the betting works and what the full hand rankings are.

That sounds really cool.

The equities for that game sound absolutely shot similar but worse than the early days of short deck.

Connectors are probably the best hand you can have because of the likelihood of making a 3 card straight.

That actually sounds like a really interesting variation. Changing the hand rankings completely changes how you evaluate starting hands and make decisions during a hand. The idea of a three-card sequence counting as a three-of-a-kind is especially unique, and using the total card value as the tiebreaker makes it even more different from standard poker. I'd definitely be interested in hearing more about the full rules, especially how betting works, what the complete hand rankings are, and whether there are any special rules for wild cards or ties.

That sounds wild! What is the game actually called in your city/region?
It sounds like a unique regional hybrid of 3-card poker. How does the betting structure work? Do you have community cards with betting rounds like Hold'em, or is it dealt straight to showdown? I'd love to hear more details about how it plays out!

Not sure how to play but always willing to try something new.

That sounds less like traditional poker and more like a unique local card game!
Calling a 4-5-6 a "three-of-a-kind" and having it beat a natural 4-4-4 based on total card points is wild. What is the game actually called in your city, and how does the betting round work?

khushalprem · Aug 5, 2026

That actually sounds interesting. I'd love to learn more about it. How are the hands ranked overall? What beats what? How does betting work, and how many cards does each player receive? It seems like a very different game from standard poker.
