Pineapple?

[stinkee]

I heard about this game called Pineapple-- someone told me that it is just like HoldEm, but you get 3 hole cards and you need to discard one of them after the flop.. Sounds like fun! -- Does anyone know where you can play this online? - And is that a correct assessment of how the game is played? thanks

I have seen this game but I don't remember where and I'm pretty sure your decription of it sums it up.

With a help of google:

Pineapple

Refers to a variant of Texas Hold’em in which players receive three hole cards, as opposed to the regular two, and must discard one of them.


The additional card can be discarded at a variety of different times including before or after pre-flop betting, after the flop is dealt (as in Crazy Pineapple), or after a second round of betting. This is dictated by the dealer. Following the muck of the discarded card, all other details proceed as in regular Hold’em.

At one point, UB had pineapple (with the discard). I'm not sure if they still do, as I haven't played on UB for a few years after the AP scandal.
