Pusoy, also known as Filipino Poker or Chinese Poker, is one of the most beloved card games in the Philippines. Unlike regular poker where you battle one opponent at a time, Pusoy involves four players each receiving 13 cards, which they then arrange into three separate hands — a front hand of 3 cards, a middle hand of 5 cards, and a back hand of 5 cards. The goal is to arrange your cards so that each hand beats your opponents' corresponding hands.
What makes Pusoy so special among Filipino players is the combination of skill and strategy it demands. You can't just rely on the cards you're dealt — you have to think carefully about how to arrange them to maximize your wins across all three hands. A wrong arrangement could turn a great set of cards into a losing round, so every decision matters.
