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.
