Pusoy Rules Every Beginner Should Know
Each player receives 13 cards and arranges them into three hands: a 3-card front row, a 5-card middle row, and a 5-card back row. The back row must always be the strongest, the middle next, and the front the weakest — misset hands are an instant loss called a foul. Standard poker hand rankings apply to the 5-card rows; the 3-card front
uses only pairs and high card. At showdown, you compare each row against your opponent's matching row. Winning all three rows pays a premium called a sweep. Starting with these basics before you join a live Pusoy table makes the difference between a confident opening move and a costly mismatch.
