I've wondered why stars has not added this format yet, more action they can over rake!

This article was very useful for, because it was always interesting to learn the rules. And I also wonder where you can play this kind of poker. I have not met him in one room.

CHINESE POKER

Particularly never played but I have friends who are very fond mainly dealers in games ranges are playing to relax

There is a variant that strikes me to play but it seems to be really fun

Is there any good software for this game? I'm not aware of any rooms that have chinese style open face poker. Is it like mahjong?

I have not played this before. It is interesting to read about, I may give it a go at some point, so I will know where to go to study up. This seems like one that would be too complicated for our holiday family games, since I have to provide hand rank lists to some family members for NLHE, lol. There is a local group of poker enthusiasts I found and they might be interested though.

I luv OFC...

But I am a newbie yet. It is a great game to learn to count outs. So more than texas holdem or omaha for example you need to find worse players to be profitable because lacking bluffs, you depend more on the deck.

personally, if I had a confrontation for commanding the table with a Chinese one year ago ... it is always a challenge to play any game against an Asian, great dedication, take any discipline in series what makes them an example for the world .

An interesting variant on poker, but not for me. Too much to learn and I don't need that in my life anymore.

I don't like games except Texas hold'em.But this one got me interested.Opens the entire deck.This is a mini game.But the concentration on a large number of cards seems tedious to me.And loses the intrigue of the last cards.

its a very interesting and sounds much more complicated , Definitly not my cup of tea ,but if i had interest ,and submitted effort to learnibg it, i might say it is a well deserved variant to holdem . I just cannot see investing my time to study or learn this game

When I was at college we used to play Tichu it has many common rules with poker but 4 participants are needed and they play separated in 2 teams. You can also play online.It is very interesting.Sorry but seems that this variant is way too complicated to have fun. It will be way too hard too play it.

We can't win at NL Hold'em which is one of the simplest variants, I don't need this. Sorry but I am honest as always. :D

the truth is that I did not understand this game at all, I apologize if this time I do not give a proper comment about the article, but the truth I had never heard of that game and what I read in this article I could not understand anything about this game, maybe if I get to practice live with someone who is explaining me, sure I will understand, but for now I can not comment on it.

I love it! It's a blast.
Great for when you just want something to do on the side, and you can also keep this going as a long-term game over days, weeks, months with your buddies.

Perfect game to bring a deck of cards to the coffee shop/bar, and just note down your points on a sheet of paper.

Can't WAIT for this one to be released online, i've had a hell of a time trying to find it.

I hear about open face chinese poker first time in your article:) I attentively read the guide how to play this type of poker, but frankly speaking OFCP is still big mistery for me. For the best understanding I have to try it on practice, but I absolutelly haven`t such desire:p

Ive never heard of this game in my life, it would be nice to look into it and try to learn to play, but where exactly does OFC offer??

Open Face Chinese Poker looks very confusing and complicating, but it is ofourse interesting. maybe ill give it a go and learn this!

It's the first time I heard about this variant of poker.
I am not ready at all to play another variant.
I still need to work on my Hold-em No limit play.

I read the article, I found it interesting, but unfortunately I never played Chinese poker, who knows if one day find people, close friends who play this poker I play for fun. Most certainly would not trade my online poker, Texas holdem for nothing, I love poker.
