Fair Play and Table Integrity in Pusoy

Verified Hand Outcomes

Every Pusoy hand result is logged server-side at deal and at showdown. If you dispute a score, the system replay confirms exactly which hands were compared and how points were assigned.

Foul Hand Detection

The table engine checks your submitted arrangement before confirming it. A back hand weaker than the middle is flagged automatically, and you are prompted to correct the split before the round locks.

Player vs Player Format

Pusoy at solojili is player-versus-player, not player-versus-house. Outcomes depend on the cards dealt and how well each player arranges their 13 cards — not on a house edge applied to each round.

Transparent Royalty Rules

Royalty bonus values — such as the payout for a straight flush at the back or three of a kind in the front — are displayed on the table information panel before each session starts.

The Complete Pusoy Rules You Need to Know

Each of the three hands in Pusoy must follow a strict strength order: the back five must outrank the middle five, and the middle five must outrank the front three. You cannot place your strongest five-card hand in the middle and leave a weaker set at the back — that is a foul hand and it scores zero. The front three is

scored by high card, pairs, or three of a kind only. The middle and back five use standard poker rankings from high card up to a straight flush. At showdown, each of your three hands is compared against the same hand of every other player at the table. Win all three and you sweep; lose all three and you pay out across

the board. Royalty bonuses apply for rare hands like three of a kind in the front or a straight flush at the back, depending on the table rules active in that session.

Pusoy Glossary — Key Terms Explained

01
What is a foul hand in Pusoy?

A foul hand occurs when the arranged three-hand set breaks the strength order — for example, the back five is weaker than the middle five. A fouled arrangement scores zero for that player at showdown.

02
What does 'sweep' mean in Pusoy?

A sweep happens when one player wins all three hands — front, middle, and back — against a single opponent. Some table variants apply a multiplier to the payout when a full sweep is confirmed at showdown.

03
What is a royalty bonus in Pusoy?

A royalty bonus is an automatic extra payout awarded for rare hand combinations, such as three of a kind in the front three or a straight flush in the back five, regardless of the overall round result.

04
What is the front hand in Pusoy?

The front hand is the three-card portion of your 13-card split. It can only be scored as high card, one pair, or three of a kind — no straights or flushes are valid in a three-card front hand.

05
What does 'setting' your hand mean?

Setting refers to the act of arranging your 13 dealt cards into the three required hands before the round locks. Once confirmed, the arrangement cannot be changed and goes directly to showdown comparison.

06
What is a natural hand in Pusoy?

A natural hand is a special 13-card combination — such as six pairs or three straight flushes — that qualifies for an automatic maximum payout against all opponents, bypassing the standard three-hand comparison.

Common Pusoy Rules Questions

Pusoy is designed for exactly four players. Each receives 13 cards from a standard 52-card deck, which divides evenly with no cards left over. Tables at solojili fill seats before the deal begins.

No. The back five-card hand must always be stronger than the middle five-card hand. Submitting a middle hand that outranks the back hand is treated as a foul, and that player scores zero for the round.

Each of your three hands is compared one-to-one against the corresponding hand of each opponent. You earn a point for each hand you win and lose a point for each hand you lose. Net points across all opponents determine the round result.

If two hands rank equally — for example, both players have a pair of Aces — the tie is broken by the next highest card in that hand. If all cards are identical in rank, the hand is declared a push and no points are exchanged for it.

No. Pusoy is a 13-card arrangement game compared at showdown. Pusoy Dos is a separate shedding game where players race to empty their hand by playing combinations in turn order. The two share a name but have entirely different rules.
