01Deck and deal
- A 36-card deck, six to ace. The six of clubs (6♣) is the “shakha”.
- Up to 6 players at a table. Before the deal everyone puts in the ante — it goes to the pot.
- Each player gets three cards face down. You open your cards one at a time by tapping; once you open one, you have “looked” (this matters for blind play).
- The dealer moves around the table; the player after the dealer acts first.
02Points
- Your best suit counts — the sum of the cards of one suit. 6–9 by their value; 10, jack, queen, king — 10 each; ace — 11.
- Different suits without the shakha — the highest card counts.
- The shakha adds 11 to your best suit, or to your highest card if you have no suit.
- The shakha does not turn a pair into three of a kind: two kings with the shakha — 21, two aces with the shakha — 22.
- Two aces — 22, “two foreheads”.
- Any three of a kind except aces and sixes — 32.5; all such triples are equal: K K K vs 7 7 7 is a svara.
- Three aces — 33, “three foreheads”. Three sixes — 34, “three shakhas”: the six of clubs is just a six there. 34 is the top hand.
- Names we show at the showdown: “three shakhas”, “three foreheads”, “top trynki” (31 in one suit without the shakha — an ace and two tens or picture cards), “two foreheads”.
ExampleK♠ 9♥ 7♦ — 10 · 7♥ 9♠ 6♣ — 20 · A♥ K♥ 6♣ — 32 · A♥ K♥ Q♥ — 31 (top trynki)
03Betting
- Clockwise: check (if nobody has bet yet), bet, call, raise or fold.
- A bet is at most the pot. A raise is at least the previous bet. Raises are not limited.
- The round goes on until everyone has called the last bet — then the showdown. If everyone checks, the showdown comes at once and the best hand takes the antes.
- 20 seconds per move. Out of time: check if you owe nothing, otherwise fold.
04Blind
- Only the player after the dealer can start a blind round, and only without looking: the blind bet equals the ante.
- In the blind round each next player bets ×2 of the previous bet — blind or after looking. The pot limit does not apply here; you cannot bet more than ×2.
- Looked and bet ×2 — the round is “unblinded”: blind play ends for everyone and normal betting follows. In the second round the blind players look at their cards and call, raise or fold.
- You can fold at any moment of your turn. Out of time in the blind round — fold.
ExampleAnte 10: A — 10 blind, B — 20 blind, C looked — 40, D calls 40, raises or folds. In the second round A adds 30, B — 20.
05All-in
- Not enough for a bet — you go all-in with everything you have; bets above the all-in are returned.
- After an all-in nobody raises until the end of the deal — only call the all-in amount or fold. One pot, no side pots.
- Not enough for ×2 in the blind round — all-in with the rest, same rules.
06Showdown
- In turn: the player who called last shows first, then clockwise.
- A hand that beats the shown one opens by itself. A weaker hand — “Show” or “Fold” within 3 seconds; out of time — the cards are folded unseen.
- The best hand takes the pot.
07Svara
- Two players with equal points choose “Split” or “Play on” (10 seconds): they play on if at least one wants to; out of time or someone left — split. Three or more — a svara at once.
- Players in by points pay nothing extra and there is no ante in a svara — the pot carries over as is.
- Others may buy in: the buy-in is the pot before buying in divided by the number of players in by points. You can buy in only if more than two pots remain after it. Offered clockwise from the svara dealer, 10 seconds each.
- The svara is dealt by the last of the tied players clockwise. Blind play is allowed in a svara.
- A tie in a svara — another svara; after 10 svaras in a row — split. If someone in the svara has zero (went all-in) — a svara without betting: deal and showdown at once.
ExamplePot 300, two in by points: buy-in 150; anyone with more than 750 may buy in.
08Rake
- 3% of the final pot, at most 10 antes, once per deal; for a svara — of its final pot.
- No rake if everyone checked and the pot holds only antes. Tables with a bot have no rake.
09Table and timers
- Table buy-in — 20 to 100 antes; when you stand up, your chips return to your balance.
- Deals go one after another. After a deal — 30 seconds to press “New deal”: those who don't sit out.
- Offline for 2 minutes — you stand up from the table. Leaving mid-deal — fold; the seat frees after the deal. Table chat — between deals.
