Chinese Poker is essentially a game that requires skills in observation.

In hold’em poker, you’ll sometimes be faced with players that put a ruthless attack on other players by betting on their cards or bluffing their way into the game Chinese poker on the other hand is a silent game.



When the cards are dealt to the other players, the game will commence with players arranging the cards There will be no additional betting, just arranging of cards between the players. In rare occasions there may be a time frame but most of the time, the players are given a free hand on how long will arrange the cards.

This is what makes Chinese poker quite difficult for some players. They will never know what goes on to the mind of other players. Some will show some clues but the main clue that you’ll have when playing this game is the cards that you have



The strategy of arrangements of the cards usually differs depending on the prize. If you’re playing against the dealer, the objective is to win two out of three parts of the hand.

The parts that you should always give importance are the back and the front part. The back should always have the best hand possible while the middle and the front are the sacrificial parts of the card.

Since you already have the best part at the back, chances are your cards for the middle part will only have less arrangement. For example, you only have two pairs left after a full house at the bottom. Instead of concentrating the pairs in the middle, distribute them. The pair in the middle will have to take a fall since two pairs in the middle is almost as nothing as a higher card However, when you transfer your pair to the front, you’ll have a bigger chance of winning since you have a stronger hand. If you’re playing against a stronger card, you still can match your hand since your bottom and front sets are really strong.
Just make sure that the pair in your middle card will not be lower to your front card.
When that happens, your card will never be able to play and you will automatically lose the round. You will not be able to win all three but you will have the chance to ace two.

The strategy is also effective if you’re playing against other players with a pot for the highest card.
