description Crazy Pineapple Overview

Crazy Pineapple is a community card poker variant derived from Texas hold 'em in which each player is dealt three hole cards instead of two. After the dealer reveals the flop (the first three community cards), every player must discard one of their hole cards. The hand then proceeds exactly like a standard Texas hold 'em game through the turn, river, and showdown. Because players have more information when making their discard, the game features stronger hands and more complex betting decisions than standard Pineapple or Hold 'em.
