Pineapple OFC

First off, sorry for taking such a long time between posts.  I have had a lot going on and havent been involved in the Chinese Open Face App after I sold my portion.  I do plan to continue posting about the game however, and the big shift over to Pineapple OFC has changed the strategy in the game dramatically.

The best advise I can give for playing Pineapple is BE AGGRESSIVE!  You have to set your hands to play for Fantasy Land any chance you get.  I am still working on figuring out the odds (this is much more complicated that regular OFC) but your chances of covering an early run at Fantasy Land are much better than you would think if you have been playing regular OFC.  For example, you are dealt 772KK.  In standard OFC, you would easily set your hand with KK77 in the back and the 2 in the middle or up top.  In Pineapple, you must set your hand 772 in the back and KK in the middle to try and get a chance at Fantasy Land.

Similarly, if you have Q up top, K45 in the middle, and JJ8 in the back, and then draw QXX, you should place the Q on top and go for fantasy land.  You are drawing to 2 pair or trips in the back, and then either KK or two pair with 4s and 5s in the middle.  Picking 2/3 for two more draws, you get to look at 6 more cards to improve your hand.  Think of it as implied odds as you do in holdem.  If you hit Fantasy Land, you have a chance to really win big!

Finally, if you havent heard yet, there is a great place to play regular holdem online legally and with bitcoins.  The link is below.  Check it out.
