sigh, i really didnt want to reply in this thread but i felt compelled to defend my cultures honor.

Ok here it is str8 up. The first quote is correct. The game that you guys call "chinese poker" is literally translated as "13 cards" in chinese.

Now, ironically there is also another chinese poker game, the americans call this game "13". Literally translated in chinese, it is called "big old 2". In america, it is also sometimes refered to as "big dick" or "big 2". Some ignorant people also call it "per soy".

Finally, there is another chinese poker game that is alot like NL hold'em. It is pronounced "so ha" and literally translated it means all in, pretty trippy. Here is a video clip from youtube demonstrating this game in action. It is from the classic "God of Gamblers", it is a sick sick movie. This movie is to the chinese as what Scarface is to america. Everyone just watch it. So sick.

Every time I finish a game of Chinese poker, I feel like playing again in a couple of hours.

its like pai gow except you use 13 cards.

You make 3 hands. Three cards in the front, 5 cards in the middle, and 5 cards in the back. And each succeeding hand has to be bigger then the previous hand.
