Pusoy Online (Chinese Poker): 13 Cards, 3 Hands, Scoring

Pusoy, known abroad as Chinese poker, is a puzzle more than a duel. You get 13 cards and have to arrange them into three poker hands that satisfy one rule. Pusoy online does the dealing and rule-checking for you, so the skill is in the arranging.

Rule 1 and 2: 13 cards, three hands

Each player takes 13 cards from a 52-card deck, which is why four is the usual table. You then split them into:

1. Back: five cards, your strongest poker hand.
2. Middle: five cards, the next strongest.
3. Front: three cards, the weakest.

The front hand uses only three cards, so it ranks as trips, a pair or a high card. Straights and flushes do not count there.

Rule 3: poker rankings for the rows

From strongest to weakest:

1. Straight flush
2. Four of a kind
3. Full house
4. Flush
5. Straight
6. Three of a kind
7. Two pair
8. Pair
9. High card

A pair in the front can beat your opponent’s front of high cards, so even the smallest row decides points.

Quick check: if your middle row is better than your back row, swap them before the timer ends.

Rule 4: the foul

The back row needs to match or beat the middle, and the middle must match or beat the front. Break that order and you have fouled, which at most tables forfeits all three rows. No beginner mistake costs more. At ₱10 a point, a foul against three rivals loses 9 points, or ₱90.

Rule 5 and 6: scoring and settling

You compare each of your rows with the same row of each rival. Win a row and you gain a point, lose it and you pay one. Many groups add a bonus for winning all three rows, and extra points for hands such as trips in the front.

Point values and bonuses vary, so confirm them on the table. At ₱10 a point, one lost scoop of three points costs ₱30 against a single rival, and ₱90 against three.

Pusoy online, and what the lobby lists

Online versions deal, show a timer, check your order and settle the points. Many offer auto-arrange, which is handy to learn from, though it may not choose the best split.

GG Panalo’s lobby, read on 2026-11-05, lists no Pusoy title, and its Poker tab held 38 titles that day. The card titles included:

1. Tongits Go
2. Rummy
3. TeenPatti
4. Poker King
5. Andar Bahar

A rummy-style player has options. See tongits online for the closest card game there.

Red flags to watch for

Searching for pusoy also turns up “pusoy hack” tools, tables of wallet numbers and apps passed around by chat link. Treat each one as a signal to close the tab.

1. Hack tools cannot see the deck.
2. Personal wallet numbers are not a cashier.
3. A chat-link app is not a store listing.

A fair game takes money through its cashier, gives you the rules on screen and never promises wins.

Count the points before you play: a bet unit for point value fixes the peso value of a point, a loss limit before a card night tells you when to leave, and bankroll management basics covers the rest.
