Pusoy Go is an international card game that you can’t miss. Unlike ordinary card games that calculate points or run scores, this game is a song of balance and logical thinking. Let’s join 9PH to enter the world of Western cards and discover the formula to master the betting table and gain huge profits.
Basic Structure and Rules for Dividing Hands in Pusoy Go
To avoid confusion when entering a 4-player Pusoy Go table, players need to clearly understand the arrangement of the 13 cards. Your ultimate goal is to divide the 13 dealt cards into 3 separate hands, ensuring that the previous hand must be stronger than the next one.

The automatic card dealing system of 9PH will deal 13 Western cards to each player. From these 13 cards, you have a specified time period (usually 45 seconds) to arrange them into 3 sets:
- Front Hand: Located at the top, it consists of exactly 3 cards. This must be the weakest hand among your 13 cards.
- Middle Hand: In the middle position, it consists of exactly 5 cards. This hand must be stronger than the front hand but weaker than the back hand.
- Back Hand: Located at the bottom when playing Pusoy Go, it consists of exactly 5 cards. This is the main hand and must be the strongest set in your cards.
- Foul Hand: If you accidentally or intentionally arrange hands so that the later hand is weaker than the previous one (e.g., the front hand is stronger than the middle hand, or the middle hand is stronger than the back hand), your cards will be considered as “Foul Hand”. When penalized for this error, you will be declared to lose outright against all opponents at the table without needing to compare cards.
Ranking of hand strength in the game
When arranging 5-card hands (Middle and Final hands), the strength of hand combinations is ranked from weakest to strongest. The specific rules applied in Pusoy Go are as follows:
- High Card : Unrelated cards, no links to each other.
- Pair: Two cards of the same denomination (Example: Two 9s).
- Two Pair: A hand with two different pairs (Example: One pair of 4s and one pair of J).
- Three of a Kind: Three cards of the same denomination (Example: Three Ks).
- Straight: Five cards of consecutive values but not of the same suit (Example: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8).
- Flush: Five cards of the same suit but not consecutive (Example: 5 cards of the same suit, Spades).
- Full House: A combination of one Three of a Kind and one Pair (Example: Three 10s and one pair of 2s).
- Four of a Kind: Four cards of the same denomination (Example: Four Aces – A).
- Straight Flush : The strongest combination of 5 cards that are both consecutive and of the same suit.
The Process of Comparing Cards and Calculating Characteristic Scores at 9PH
The excitement of Pusoy Go erupts in the card revealing stage. Instead of calculating the total score, the game proceeds to compare each corresponding chi between players in pairs.
How to compare cards in a Head-to-Head Match
After the card arrangement time is over, the 9PH system will automatically flip the cards of 4 players. Your cards will be compared to the remaining 3 players one by one:

- Your first chi versus the opponent’s first chi.
- Your middle chi versus the opponent’s middle chi.
- Your last chi versus the opponent’s last chi.
For each winning chi, you will receive 1 point (chi) from that opponent. If you lose, you have to pay them 1 point. The final score of the game is the total points added or subtracted after you have compared with all 3 players at the table.
Pusoy go reward points conversion table for special cases
In addition to regular chi wins, the game also integrates a reward system that adds points if you arrange rare card combinations. Specifically:
| Special Card Combination | Position of the Chi Appeared | Additional Reward Points (Chi) |
| Three of a Kind first chi | First chi (3 cards) | 3 |
| Full House middle chi | Middle chi (5 cards) | 2 |
| Four of a Kind last chi | Last chi (5 cards) | 4 |
| Four of a Kind middle chi | Middle chi (5 cards) | 8 |
| Straight Flush last chi | Last chi (5 cards) | 5 |
| Straight Flush middle chi | Middle chi (5 cards) | 10 |
Mastering tactics from 9PH experts
In Pusoy Go, the winner isn’t the player with the most powerful cards, but the one who knows how to allocate their card strength wisely.

- The tactic “Sacrifice the first chi, collect at the end”: If your 13-card hand isn’t ideal, don’t try to evenly distribute the strength, making all three chis mediocre. Accept that the first chi will be a High Card (weak junk) to concentrate all the best cards into a strong Full House or Flush in the final chi and a large pair in the middle chi. This tactic helps you secure at least two chis from your opponent, preserving your bankroll.
- The art of leading with Three of a Kind in Pusoy Go: Many 9PH bettors tend to neglect the first chi by only placing high-point junk cards there. If you’re lucky enough to have three identical cards (Three of a Kind), bravely place them in the first chi. Winning the first chi with Three of a Kind not only disrupts your opponent’s strategy but also brings an additional, extremely generous reward thanks to the Royalties rule.
- The Three Flush or Three Straight tactic: Always check if your 13 cards fall into Naturals cases. If your hand has three thungs or three Straights in all three chis, the system will automatically declare a total win without needing to painstakingly compare each chi. Observe carefully to avoid missing these special hands.
