Pusoy games at Hann PH — the Kabayan way to play.
If you grew up in the Philippines, chances are you've already played Pusoy at a family reunion, a barkada night-out, or even just a lazy Sunday afternoon at home. It's one of those card games that has been passed down through generations — right alongside Tong-its and Lucky 9 — and the love for it never really fades.
Pusoy, sometimes called Filipino Poker or Chinese Poker, is a thirteen-card game where each player divides their hand into three separate sets: a three-card front hand, a five-card middle hand, and a five-card back hand. The goal is to arrange your cards so that each set ranks higher than the one in front of it, then go head-to-head against your opponents.
What makes Pusoy special is that it's not purely about luck. Sure, the cards you're dealt matter, but the real skill is in how you split and arrange them. You can get a decent hand and still lose if you set it up poorly — and that's exactly what makes every round interesting.
At hann ph, we've brought this classic Filipino card game to a proper online platform so you can enjoy it anytime — whether you're on your lunch break in Makati, riding the MRT, or chilling at home in Cebu. The interface is clean, the tables are fast, and the competition is real.

New to the game or just need a refresher? Here's a quick rundown of how a standard Pusoy round works at hann ph.
Each player receives thirteen cards from a standard 52-card deck. Up to four players can join a single table.
Split your cards into a 3-card front hand, a 5-card middle hand, and a 5-card back hand. Your back hand must be your strongest, then middle, then front.
Once everyone has set their hands, all players reveal simultaneously. Each hand is compared position by position against every other player.
Win a hand position, earn a point. Win all three positions against an opponent — that's a sweep and usually worth bonus points. The player with the most points at the end wins the round.
Points translate to pesos at hann ph. Cash out via GCash, Maya, or bank transfer — usually processed within the same day.
Some variants of Pusoy include royalties — bonus points awarded for exceptionally strong hands like a Royal Flush in the back, three-of-a-kind in the front, or a full house in the middle. At hann ph, you can choose tables with or without royalty rules depending on your preference.
If you accidentally set your hands out of rank order — say your middle hand is stronger than your back — that's a foul. A fouled hand automatically loses all three positions against every opponent, so always double-check before confirming your arrangement.
The five-card hands follow standard poker rankings. Here's the full list from strongest to weakest, so you know exactly where you stand.
| # | Hand Name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Royal Flush | A-K-Q-J-10 of the same suit | A♠ K♠ Q♠ J♠ 10♠ |
| 2 | Straight Flush | Five consecutive cards, same suit | 7♥ 8♥ 9♥ 10♥ J♥ |
| 3 | Four of a Kind | Four cards of the same rank | K♣ K♦ K♥ K♠ 3♣ |
| 4 | Full House | Three of a kind + a pair | Q♠ Q♦ Q♣ 9♥ 9♠ |
| 5 | Flush | Five cards of the same suit (not in sequence) | 2♦ 5♦ 8♦ J♦ A♦ |
| 6 | Straight | Five consecutive cards, mixed suits | 4♣ 5♥ 6♠ 7♦ 8♣ |
| 7 | Three of a Kind | Three cards of the same rank | J♣ J♥ J♦ 7♠ 2♣ |
| 8 | Two Pair | Two separate pairs | 10♠ 10♣ 6♥ 6♦ A♠ |
| 9 | One Pair | Two cards of the same rank | 8♦ 8♣ K♠ 5♥ 2♦ |
| 10 | High Card | No matching combinations | A♠ J♦ 9♣ 6♥ 2♠ |
For the three-card front hand, only High Card, One Pair, and Three of a Kind are valid — no straights or flushes count.

Playing Pusoy well is less about memorising rules and more about developing a feel for card distribution. Here are some practical tips that experienced players at hann ph swear by:
A lot of newer players dump all their best cards into the back hand to make an impressive five-card combination, then end up with a weak middle and front. The problem is, losing two positions while winning one puts you in the negative. Aim for balance — a solid back doesn't help you if the other two hands give points away.
Getting three of a kind in your three-card front hand is one of the strongest plays in Pusoy. It's hard to beat there, and many table rules give it a royalty bonus. If you're dealt three matching ranks, strongly consider using them up front instead of splitting them across bigger hands.
Before you start arranging, do a quick mental count of your suits. If you have seven or eight cards of one suit, you might have a flush or even a straight flush waiting for you. At hann ph's online tables, you have a built-in timer, so take a few seconds to map your suits before committing.
It can be tempting to try to build a straight flush in the back, but if you're missing one key card, you might end up fouling your hand or severely weakening the other positions. Take what the cards give you — a steady full house in the back and decent pairs in the middle will beat flashy failed attempts every time.
This one is straightforward but worth saying. hann ph has tables at different buy-in levels starting from as low as ₱50. Play at a level where a bad round doesn't sting too much — that way, you can stay calm and make better decisions instead of playing scared money.

This is a question that comes up a lot, especially among players who are new to online card games. Pusoy and Pusoy Dos are actually two very different games, even though they share a name.
Pusoy (also called Pusoy Chinese Poker or Filipino Poker) is the thirteen-card game described throughout this page. It's a comparison-based game where you arrange cards into three hands and compare them against other players. There's no bidding, no betting rounds — you just set your hand and compare.
Pusoy Dos, on the other hand, is a shedding game — more similar to Big Two or Deuces. The goal is to get rid of all your cards before your opponents do, playing combinations that beat the previous play. The 2 (dos) is the highest-ranking card, which is where the name comes from.
At hann ph, the Pusoy section focuses on the thirteen-card comparison variant — the one that requires the most strategic card arrangement and is typically played with real money stakes. If you're looking for Pusoy Dos, check the Card Games section where it's listed separately.
