PPPoker Games and Rules
PPPoker offers hold’em (NLH), 4-, 5- and 6-card Omaha, OFC (Pineapple), Short Deck (6+), MTTs, sit & gos and SpinUp, plus the fast Flash format. Which games a particular club runs is up to its owner: they create the tables. The shared coin lobby also has an “Arcade” — blackjack, for example.
| Game | What it is |
|---|---|
| NLH | No-Limit Texas Hold’em — the main and most popular game. |
| PLO4 / PLO5 / PLO6 | Pot-Limit Omaha with 4, 5 and 6 cards; a hand uses exactly two hole cards. |
| OFC (Pineapple) | Open-Face Chinese poker on three rows — played for points. |
| Short Deck (6+) | Deck without 2s–5s, aggressive dynamics. |
| MTT / SNG / SpinUp | Scheduled tournaments, sit & gos and fast few-player tournaments. |
| Flash | A fast table format — the Flash icon in the lobby. |
Free Tables for Coins
Besides clubs, PPPoker lets you play for free — in the shared Lobby for coins (the yellow coin at the top). They’re not money and not club chips: coins can’t be cashed out; you get them free (including bonuses and Lucky Draw) or buy them with diamonds. Tables are named after cities — New York, Manila, New Delhi, Bangkok, Abu Dhabi, St. Petersburg — each with its own blinds and minimum buy-in (from 50K); icons show Flash, jackpot (JP) and double board (DB). There are NLH, PLO, OFC and Arcade tabs.
It’s a good way to learn the interface and rules before joining a club. Apart from clubs and coin tables, PPPoker has no other ways to play.
Game Tabs and the Filter: Everyone Sets Up Their Own Lobby
Each player sets up the club lobby’s game tabs themselves — one sees NLH and PLO5, another OFC and tournaments. The filter icon on the right opens the full list: FLASH, NLH, NLH 3-1, AOF, 6+, PLO4, PLO5, PLO6, PLO H/L, DRAWMAHA, MIXED, OFC, MATA ASES, SEKA, TEEN PATTI, PUSOY, SNG, SPINUP, MTT. For each game you can pick a stake range: e.g. NLH and PLO from ≤0.3/0.6 to ≥10/20, 6+ and OFC ≤0.8, 1–10, ≥20, SNG/SpinUp buy-ins ≤5, 6–20, ≥21, MTT ≤10, 11–50, ≥51.
- Active — only tables where a game is running.
- Open Seats — only tables with free seats.
- Exclusive — the club’s exclusive games.
- The filter doesn’t change the club for anyone else — it only affects your lobby.
The shared lobby and “Arcade”
In the shared “Lobby”, tables are named after cities (New York, Manila…), each with blinds, min buy-in and option icons: Flash, jackpot (JP), double board (DB). Play here is for coins, not club chips. The “Arcade” tab has blackjack: a main bet from 10,000 to 500K and a “Pair” side bet paying up to 100:1 for perfect aces (20:1 for a perfect pair, 12:1 colored, 5:1 mixed).
Special modes and table features
Which features a table has is up to the club. Item prices: PPPoker diamonds; perks: VIP cards. Rules: Omaha, OFC, Short Deck.
How to choose a game
- Beginners — NLH at the club’s lowest stake: simple rules and the most tables.
- Action fans — PLO, but variance is noticeably higher.
- Tournament players — the club’s and union’s MTTs and SNGs.
- For a warm-up — OFC or the shared coin lobby.
