Pineapple Poker

Discover how Pineapple Poker adds an extra card and a discard step to make the game more dynamic and strategic.

Updated today

Pineapple is a variation of Texas Hold'em, with a key difference in the number of hole cards dealt and when players must discard a card.

  • Hole Cards: Players are initially dealt three cards instead of two.
    ​

  • Players keep all three hole cards during the pre-flop and flop betting rounds.
    ​

  • Before the turn card is dealt, each player must discard one card from their hand, leaving them with two cards to play.
    ​

Other than the unique discarding rule, all other rules and betting structures are identical to Texas Hold'em.
