Is there a place on the forum w/ pineapple rules? If not someone want to give me a quick rundown?

Pineapple is played like hold'em, except you get three holecards. In regular pineapple you discard a card before the flop but in crazy pineapple you discard the card after the flop.

Thanks Tame. One more question. Do you need to use 2 hole cards like in omaha or just the best 5?

Best 5. The game is played pretty much identically to holdem other than the discard on the flop.

Seems like I've seen it on UB as well.

We play a lot of PL Crazy Pineapple at our home game. It is definitely an action game at lower blind levels...one step closer to PLO but you can still use only 1 card (or play the board if you are so inclined).

I am pretty sure that Paradise is the only place online that offers it.

As for online casinos yeah, Paradise is the only one I think, but it's offered as a play money games on other sites.

I thought UB had Pineapple for real money as well?
Perhaps I am mistaken.

Fun, Fun, Fun and suprisingly interesting game. You would be suprised how much strategy goes into reading people in crazy pineapple as well.

I think you're both right.

I'm trying to get this introduced into a home game in lieu of the games with 1 billion wildcards. Omaha and split games don't seem to go over too well with that crowd.

It seems like a really fun game and it should prove to be a nice variation of the "old" games

Thanks for the tip!

We are going to give Omaha a run at my next home game but they are so stupid the other players that it will be a train wreck so I'm going to propose some Pineapple instead after Omaha crashes and burns.

what a silly name for a card game! :lol:

Try this game at your next home game, it's a nice change from holdem.
