In terms of gameplay, Chinese Poker is a special poker type that does not look anything like the other, more popular types of poker (like Hold'em, Omaha, or Stud). However, if you are familiar with the same commonly used poker hand rankings, then at this thrilling twist of a game you will be able to do just fine!
In brief, players must divide these cards into three separate poker hands after obtaining their 13 poker starting cards: 2 hands containing 5 cards and one hand holding 3 cards. Players seek to create the best or highest-ranked holdings for each hand (as compared with how other players arranged their holdings).
This game is very exciting and enjoyable, because of the amount of luck involved, also for more novice players, and, because you are in full charge of how you choose to place your cards into the different hands.

Chinese Poker's game has two major variants, and those are Open-Faced Chinese Poker and Pineapple. However, even after these key forms, there are still a few other lesser-played variants of the game for this form up poker.
Open-Faced: The basic principle of the game is the same in Open-Faced Chinese Poker, but it's very different how a player's cards are played into the three separate hands! Here, players begin with only 5 of their ultimate 13 cards, and (starting with the player to the dealer's left) position those 5 face-up cards to begin forming their three separate hands.
Pineapple: This version is somewhat like Open-Faced Chinese Poker, but after the initial 5 cards are put the dealing is performed differently. Instead of receiving and placing one card at a time, players subsequently receive 3 cards per turn and must play 2 into their tabled hands and discard the other face-down card.

How to play poker game in Chinese? Here is the process –
- Winning outright: It should be remembered that if any player makes three flushes or straights in their three hands, they will by default win the entire hand, irrespective of the other players' holdings, scooping 3 units from each player that has not yet surrendered.
- Surrendering: This rule is non-compulsory (but usually played) and should be determined between players before gameplay begins. It is where a player pays a set amount (usually somewhere between the amount they would lose if they lost 2-3 hands – maybe 2 to 2.5 "units" for example) and doesn't end up playing their hand against the other opponents.
- Foul: If a player positions his cards in the wrong order (either by combining the hand strengths of the middle and back holdings or by not making their 5-card hands higher than their 3-card hands, etc.), then that player must pay each player equal to the sum as if all three hands were lost to all the other players. Remember that someone who mis-sets his hand does not have to pay for someone who has already given up. Players will determine in advance whether the mis-set player is still allowed to play their hands as normal and score them accordingly, or if their hand is forfeited and the penalty of paying 3 units to each player is enough for the mis-set hand.
