Re: Poker Game Rules -- PINEAPPLE HI-LOW SPLIT (8- OR BETTER)
PINEAPPLE HI-LOW SPLIT (8- OR BETTER)
Pineapple is similar to Hold'em, except each player is dealt three down cards
instead of two. After the "flop" each player must throw away one card, leaving the player with two cards. In order to make a hand, a player may use any five-card combination from among the board and personal cards. This is similar to Hold'em. The betting is the same as in Hold'em. Pineapple Hi-Low Split is also played with a dealer button. Before the game is started the dealer mixes the cards, shuffles, shuffles, cuts, shuffles, cuts one last time and places the cut card at the bottom of the deck. The dealer then places one card face up £tom left to right starting at seat #I. The player with the highest card receives the dealer button.
DECK
Pineapple is played with a total of 52 cards. There is no joker.
DEALING PROCEDURES
The card game is dealt on a Poker-style table to (9) players. A Casino Employee Dealer controls the shuffling and dealing of the cards, and controls the orderliness of the game. The casino and the employees do not participate in the play of the hand nor do they have any interest in the outcome of the play. Dealers first mix cards using both hands and while mixing cross hands at least one time. Shuffle, shuffle, cut, shuffle. Cut one last time and place the cut card at the bottom of the deck. Cards are then dealt to each player from left to right one card at a time until each player has three down cards in their hand.
Then the first round of betting takes place. The dealer then burns one card and turns three community cards (the flop) face up on the table. Another round of betting takes place, then each player discards one card from their hand. Then the dealer bums another card, and then places the fourth card face up on the table. Another round of betting occurs, and then the dealer burns one more card and has the fifth and final card face up on the table. In each betting round the player has the option to bet, raise, call, or fold.
WINNING HAND
The highest and lowest ranking hands are the determined winners. The winners receive all chips bet on that hand. In the event of a tie the chips are split evenly between the winnings hands.
