In Three-Card Hold’em, you not only get to keep your three cards you can also use all three of them to make your five-card hand.

In Pineapple you can only use one or two (or none, if you play the board) as in Texas Hold’em.

Irish Poker is a variant that transgresses Texas Hold’em and Omaha. Here you get four cards but you have to get rid of two of them after the betting round on the flop.

Pineapple Poker vs. Texas Hold’em
Many Chips
Although Pineapple poker is obviously a close cousin of Texas Hold’em, it’s still not the same.

An important difference to Hold’em is that the third card offers you additional information. It shows you a card that can’t be in any of your opponents’ hands and that can’t appear on the board.

This is not always significant, but it can be. An example:

If you get three cards of the same suit it makes it less likely that you hit a flush on the board as there is now one card missing in the deck to make that flush possible.

Or, if you receive three of a kind – you’re “rolled-up," as they call it in Stud poker – it means that you’ll almost never hit a set as you have to throw one of your cards away so there’s only one card of the same value in the deck w88 mobile.

Keep in mind that as every player gets to choose his two hole cards out of three the quality of hands will generally be higher than in Hold’em.

So if you hit top pair on the flop your hand is significantly weaker than it would be in Hold’em.

Also, if there is a possible flush with three suited cards on the board, chances are higher that somebody has it.
