Zha Jin Hua, also known as "Three-Card Poker," is a relatively common variation of poker, typically played by 2-6 players. Now, let's take a look at the rules and techniques for playing Zha Jin Hua, explained by jy135's editor.
Card Ranking Rules:
- Straight Flush: A sequence of cards with the same suit, e.g., Spades 6-7-8 or Diamonds 1-2-3.
- Flush: Cards of the same suit, but not in sequence, e.g., Spades 6-7-9 or Diamonds 1-3-5.
- Straight: A sequence of cards with different suits, e.g., Spades 6, Hearts 7, Diamonds 8.
- Pair: Two cards with the same rank, e.g., A-A-8 or 8-8-A.
- Special: For instance, 2-3-5 with different suits.
- Single: Three cards with no matching type or rank.
- Card Ranking: Three of a Kind > Straight Flush > Flush > Straight > Pair > Single.
- When Three of a Kind is present, "Special (2-3-5 with different suits)" > "Three of a Kind."
Dealing Rules:
- The dealer starts the game, giving each player three cards, which remain hidden.
Determining the Dealer:
- The initial dealer is randomly chosen, with subsequent dealers rotating clockwise.
Gameplay Rules:
- Players can only "Bet," "Raise," "See," or "Fold" when it's their turn.
- Betting starts clockwise from the winning player.
Betting and Raising Rules:
- Bets and raises must not exceed the room's predefined limits.
- In the final round, bets can exceed the room's limit, allowing for a showdown.
Special Rewards:
- Three of a Kind: Collect a fee equal to "Pot * 10" from the opponent who loses and holds a Three of a Kind.
- Straight Flush: Collect a fee equal to "Pot * 5" from the opponent who loses and holds a Straight Flush.
- 2-3-5 Beating Three of a Kind: Win the money held by the Three of a Kind and be exempt from the Three of a Kind reward.
Determining the Winner:
- When the conditions for a showdown are met, players choose to reveal their cards. Based on the "Card Ranking" rules, the player with the higher-ranking hand wins. In the case of identical hands, the player who reveals their cards first loses.
