Whether you grew up playing Pusoy around the kitchen table or you're discovering the game for the first time, 444 Pub brings the full Filipino card-game experience right to your phone or laptop — anytime, anywhere in the Philippines.
About the Game
Pusoy — also called Filipino Poker or Chineseapoker in some circles — is one of the most beloved card games in the Philippines. Practically every Filipino household knows it. People play it during fiestas, family reunions in Batangas or Cebu, long boat trips between islands, and lazy Sunday afternoons when there's nothing much else to do.
At 444 Pub, we honor that tradition by giving you a clean, fast, and fair digital version of the game. No more shuffling physical decks, no more disputes over hand rankings, no more waiting for a full table to gather in your living room. Laro na — your next round is just one tap away.
The basic premise is simple: each player receives 13 cards and must arrange them into three hands — a back hand of five cards (highest), a middle hand of five cards, and a front hand of three cards (lowest). Your arrangements must follow proper poker hand rankings, and the goal is to beat your opponents' corresponding hands. It sounds straightforward, but the depth of strategy involved is what keeps players coming back for more.
444 Pub offers both the classic Pusoy format and Pusoy Dos (a different but equally popular variant where the goal is to be the first to empty your hand). Whichever version you prefer, the tables here at 444 Pub are always open.
Game Variants
Whether you're a casual player or a competitive grinder, there's a table format made for you.
The traditional 13-card format you grew up with. Arrange your hand into three sets — back, middle, and front — and compete against up to three other players at the table. Low blinds available starting at ₱20 per round, so beginners can ease in comfortably.
The fast-paced variant where you race to be first to play all your cards. Play single cards, pairs, straights, or full houses in sequence. This version is super popular in Cavite, Pampanga, and Metro Manila — and now it's live 24/7 on 444 Pub.
Join scheduled monthly tournaments with buy-ins starting at ₱100 and prize pools that can climb to ₱500,000 or more. Finals are streamed, and the top three finishers earn both cash prizes and 444 Pub VIP status for the next quarter.
Know Your Cards
If you're new to Classic Pusoy, here's a quick reference for hand rankings from highest to lowest. Knowing these by heart will help you set your 13 cards more effectively — especially your back hand, which carries the most weight in scoring.
Remember: your middle hand must beat your front hand, and your back hand must beat your middle hand. Fouling — setting an invalid arrangement — usually results in an automatic loss, so always double-check before confirming your layout on 444 Pub.

Pro Tips
A strong kamay (hand) doesn't always win by itself — the way you arrange it matters just as much.
Your back hand (five cards) is the most valuable position. Always put your best combination there. Don't sacrifice your strongest holding just to boost the middle hand — it rarely pays off.
Many beginners dump all their strong cards into one position. The key is balance — winning two out of three hands often scores better than sweeping one position and losing the other two.
444 Pub awards bonus multipliers for premium hands like Royal Flush and Straight Flush. If you're dealt a monster combo, make sure you set it in a position that maximizes your bonus earnings.
Online Pusoy has a decision timer. Avoid rushing. Take the full time allowed to review all possible arrangements — small adjustments at the last second can flip a losing set into a winning one.
Pay attention to how your tablemates set their hands in previous rounds. Some players always go aggressive on the back hand. Use that pattern against them when you hold a competitive mid or front hand.
Good players at 444 Pub don't just know the game — they manage their chips smartly. Set a session limit before you start. Even a bad run of cards is easier to recover from when you've played within your means.
