"Lazy Pineapple Poker: Want To Learn The Game?"Lazy pineapple poker is a community card poker game. Play the game with 2-10 players a table. Know how texas hold-em and omaha poker are played? You're half way to playing this game! An important rule: use zero, one, or two of your three hole cards combined with community cards. Make the best five card high hand possible.

The deal starts at the small blind and goes clockwise around the table. Each player gets one card at a time until they have three cards. The under-the-gun player (clockwise player from big blind), starts the pre-flop betting round. This player and proceding players can... RAISE THE BET CALL THE BET OR FOLD THEIR CARDS Once all players have acted, the dealer burns the top card of the deck and deals a flop. Flop betting round starts with first player clockwise from the button. Players can... BET CHECK CALL (if a bet is made) RAISE (if a bet is made) or FOLD (if a bet is made) When all players have acted, the dealer burns a second card and deals the turn. The third round of betting happens here. Players in the hand get a chance to act on their cards. After remaining players have acted, the dealer burns a third card and deals the river. A fourth betting round takes place on the river. When action on the river is done, remaining players turn their cards face up and the dealer determines a winner. The winner gets the pot!
