Pusoy or Pusoy Dos? Know Your Game
What is Pusoy (Chinese Poker)?
Pusoy, also called Chinese Poker locally, is a four-player card game where each player receives 13 cards. The goal is to arrange those cards into three hands — a3-card front hand, a 5-card middle hand, and a 5-card back hand — and then compare them against your opponents.
What makes Pusoy especially fun is the strategic layer. You don't just get dealt a hand and hope for the best — you decide how to split your cards, which takes skill and foresight. Getting a strong back hand at the expense of a weak front hand is a real trade-off you'll wrestle with every round.
On KinGames, the game moves at a comfortable pace, giving you enough time to arrange your hands thoughtfully without dragging the session. Perfect for players who enjoy a more deliberate, thinking-person's card game.

What is Pusoy Dos?
Pusoy Dos is the faster, more action-packed cousin of traditional Pusoy. It's played with 2to 4 players, and the objective is simple: be the first to get rid of all your cards. Think of it like a local version of Big Two — competitive, quick, and deeply satisfying when you land that last play perfectly.
Players take turns laying down single cards, pairs, three-of-a-kinds, or five-card combinations. The twist is that the 2 of spades is the highest card in the deck, and whoever clears their hand first wins the round. Losers pay out based on how many cards they have left.
KinGames offers Pusoy Dos tables across multiple stakes levels, and the matchmaking is fast enough that you're almost never waiting more than 30 seconds for a game to start. Rounds are snappy — ideal if you want quick, punchy sessions in between other things.

Pusoy Hand Rankings – From Lowest to Highest
These are the five-card hand rankings used in both Pusoy and Pusoy Dos. Knowing these by heart is the first step to playing confidently at KinGames.
High Card
No matching cards, no sequence. The highest single card in your hand determines its strength. The weakest possible five-card combination.
One Pair
Two cards of the same rank (e.g., two Queens). A common hand. If two players both have a pair, the higher pair wins.
Two Pair
Two different pairs in the same hand (e.g., two 8s and two Kings). Better than a single pair; the higher top-pair wins ties.
Three of a Kind
Three cards of the same rank. Also called a "set" or "trips." Strong enough to win many front-hand comparisons in Pusoy.
Straight
Five consecutive cards of any suit (e.g., 5-6-7-8-9). The Ace can be high or low. Higher-top-card straight wins ties.
Flush
Five cards of the same suit, not in sequence. Suit ranking matters for ties: spades > hearts > clubs > diamonds.
Full House
Three of a kind plus a pair in the same hand. The three-of-a-kind component determines which full house is stronger.
Four of a Kind
Four cards of the same rank plus any fifth card. Very rare and almost always dominant in the back hand of Pusoy.
Straight Flush / Royal Flush
Five consecutive cards of the same suit. The Royal Flush (10-J-Q-K-A of the same suit) is the highest possible hand.

Tips to Play Smarter Pusoy on KinGames
Pusoy has a luck element — the cards you get are random — but how you play them is entirely on you. Experienced players consistently outperform beginners not because they get better cards, but because they make better decisions with the ones they're dealt. Here are some practical tips that will help you level up.
Prioritise Your Back Hand
In standard Pusoy, the back hand is worth the most because it's compared directly. Try to build the strongest possible five-card back hand first, then work around it for middle and front. Sacrificing a middle hand to guarantee a back-hand win is often worth it.
Read the Table, Not Just Your Hand
In Pusoy Dos, timing is everything. Don't just play the highest combo you can — watch what your opponents are putting down and hold back stronger cards for the right moment. Playing your best cards too early often leaves you vulnerable later.
Don't Overextend Your Front Hand
It's tempting to put a strong three-of-a-kind in the front, but remember — the front hand only has three cards and gets fewer points than the back. If making your front hand strong weakens both your middle and back, you'll lose more than you gain.
Manage Your Bankroll Across Sessions
Set a session limit before you start playing on KinGames. A cold run of cards happens to everyone — having a ceiling prevents a bad session from becoming a financial headache. Start at lower tables, get comfortable with the pace, then move up gradually.
Use Your Timer Wisely in Pusoy
KinGames gives you a set time to arrange your hands. Don't rush — take the full time to evaluate your options. A small rearangement of cards in the middle and back hands can mean the difference between winning two out of three comparisons versus zero.
Claim Your KinGames Bonuses
KinGames regularly offers deposit bonuses and cashback promos that apply to card games including Pusoy. These give you more rounds to play without increasing your deposit. Check the promotions section after logging in so you never miss a live offer.
