What is “Crazy Pineapple”?

This is a form of poker that is very similar to Texas Hold Em. However, you are dealt 3 cards instead of 2. Then there is a round of preflop wagering. A flop is dealt, more wagering occurs, and at the completion of all flop action, but before a turn card is dealt, all players still in the pot discard, face down, one of their 3 cards. The turn and river play out like regular Texas Hold Em.

You flop a pair and a flush draw. Do you keep the pair? Do you go for the flush? This game creates more action and makes it more likely both you, and your opponents, will find ways to match the board.
