Most Open Face Chinese poker games consist of 2-4 players with the standard game online consisting of three-handed tables poker online .

A dealer button is used for the sake of determining order of action and moves after each hand. The exception is a hand where one player is in "Fantasyland."

When a player is in Fantasyland the button freezes until all players are playing standard OFC.



Starting with the player to the left of the button, each player is initially dealt five cards which he or she must set. The player to the left of the button then sets his five cards face up into whichever row(s) he wishes w88thais.com .

This continues until the player on the button has acted. Please note that once you have set your hand and your turn is concluded, you cannot change your hand.

After the first five cards are dealt another card is then dealt to each player. Starting with the player to the left of the button, that card is placed and action continues to the button player.

This continues until each player has placed all 13 cards. Once the last card is placed players make comparisons and score their hands.

Open Face Chinese Poker Scoring
Scoring in Open Face Chinese poker is done via points, sometimes called units. In a $1 OFC game, each point or unit is worth $1. Standard scoring is as follows:

Player is paid 1 unit for each hand he wins against opponent
If a player scoops all three hands against an opponent he gets three bonus units ww88 .
If a player surrenders a hand he must pay two units to each opponent.
If a player "fouls" a hand he must pay six units to each player who doesn't foul.
Units are awarded at showdown via hand comparisons. In a three-handed game the player to the left of the button would compare first and comparisons would continue clockwise.

Fouling occurs when your hands are not set in proper order. For example you play trip threes in the middle and two pair on bottom. Fouling also forfeits any bonuses you may have received.
