I understand that it could be argued that Super Hold’em belongs in the variations of Hold’em, but it has at least as much to do with Pineapple as Hold’em so I have included it here. The players can still only use a maximum of two hole cards to make their best five card hand. When playing Lazy Pineapple players keep all three hole cards throughout the entire hand.
Two other versions are called Lazy Pineapple, also known as Tahoe, and Super Hold’em. Otherwise the round is played out just like the explanation above. In Crazy Pineapple the players discard their third card after the flop. The other popular version is called Crazy Pineapple. Play then proceeds exactly like a game of Texas Hold’em. When playing this version each player discards one of his or her cards before any betting rounds or the flop. The most common is just called Pineapple. There are two popular versions of Pineapple poker and a few more that are harder to find.
