Pusoy Dos online in the Philippines

Basahin sa Filipino →

The basics

Pusoy Dos (a cousin of Big Two) is a climbing game, usually for four players with a 52-card deck dealt out fully (13 cards each). Cards rank from 3 (lowest) up to 2 (highest, "dos"). Each turn you must play a stronger combination than the last one, or pass. The first player to empty their hand wins the round.

Card ranks

From lowest to highest: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, A, 2. When two cards have the same rank, suits break the tie in an agreed order; the suit order differs between tables, so confirm it first.

What you can play

Five-card hands are usually ranked straight < flush < full house < four of a kind < straight flush. Whether a straight can wrap around the ace and 2, and how equal flushes are compared, depends on the table.

How a round goes

1. The first lead is made by the player holding the lowest card (commonly the 3 of clubs or 3 of diamonds, depending on the rules).
2. Players in turn play a higher combination of the same type and size, or pass.
3. When everyone else passes, the last player to play leads the next combination freely.
4. The first player out of cards wins; other players may pay by the number of cards left, depending on the stakes agreed.

Tips and common mistakes

• Do not spend your 2s early; they are your strongest cards for regaining the lead.
• Plan how to get rid of your low singles before the end.
• Check the payout rule for cards left in hand before playing for money.
