| re: Remember Pineapple? poker I deal pineapple quite often in live home games Dealer's Choice. Usually makes for a more interesting game and larger pots than shorthanded hold em especially when you're playing with people you know quite well and play against often. |

Every few months our local casino does a Thursday nite Crazy Pineapple as their variety game of the month. Turnouts are fairly small and it's mainly for the laughs involved and the hands that hit. Really hard for me to take either version seriously. |

| Ya i played crazy pineapple before, when Paradise Poker used too accept US players. I thought it was a alright game, very similar too holdem, with the exception of another card you get in you hole cards. Played it for money for a little bit, but once i started loosing a lot of cash, i stopped playing it. Haven't seen a site offer it since paradise |

I have an account at Paradise, since I have a second residence outside the US. That is who I was referring to, when I said 'they are not US friendly.' I realize that the way I said it could be confusing. That said, I just updated my software, and they no longer spread the game either. |

If you look in the poker rooms tab, it hasn't been updated in a long time. I don't think ANY of those sites offer it. Another article on pineapple... http://www.pokernews.com/news/2006/1...-pineapple.htm |

| Pineapple and variants Quote:
It's dealt like regular PL HEM, but you get THREE hole cards instead of two. In "regular" Pineapple, you have to discard one of the hole cards following the pre-flop round of betting and then "regular" play commences. In Crazy Pineapple, the discard comes AFTER the flop. Crazy Pineapple H/L8, the pot can end up in a Hi/Lo split. For more info, try Wikipedia or the following link: http://www.pokernews.com/news/2006/1...-pineapple.htm And, although UBNet did used to offer it, they no longer do so. Can't speak to any non-US friendly sites. Used to run into it in Montana poker rooms, when the "button" got to call dealer's choice. Haven't played there for years, so don't know if that is still the practice. |

| Interesting! I was playing hole em live yesterday and the dealer dealt an extra hole card to the sb and said "oh I thought you guys wanted to play pineapple." I had no friggin' clue what he was talking about. Now I'm intrigued and really would like to play! |
