From family reunions to barkada nights, Pusoy has been a staple of Filipino card culture for generations. Now jilic brings the full Pusoy experience online — with real money tables, multiple variants, and payouts straight to your GCash or Maya anytime you win.
If you've grown up in the Philippines, there's a very good chance you've played Pusoy — or at least watched your lolo deal out cards during a family gathering. Pusoy, also widely known as Pusoy Dos or Filipino Poker, is a shedding-type card game where the goal is simple: be the first player to get rid of all your cards.
The game is typically played with a standard 52-card deck by two to four players. Each player receives 13 cards, and turns proceed clockwise. On your turn you must play a card or combination that beats the last card or combination played — or pass. The twist that makes Pusoy uniquely Filipino is the card ranking: 2s are the highest-valued cards in the deck, above aces. That's where the "Dos" in Pusoy Dos comes from.
jilic offers Pusoy in its original form as well as Chinese Poker (Pusoy variant where hands are arranged into three sections). Whether you're a seasoned barrio champion or just learning the basics, jilic has a table that fits your level and your budget.
Understanding hand strength is the foundation of good Pusoy play. Here's the full ranking order used at jilic's Pusoy tables, from the strongest combination down to a single card.
| # | Hand Name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Royal Flush | Five consecutive same-suit cards, 10 through Ace | 10♠ J♠ Q♠ K♠ A♠ |
| 2 | Straight Flush | Five consecutive cards of the same suit | 5♥ 6♥ 7♥ 8♥ 9♥ |
| 3 | Four of a Kind | Four cards of the same rank | K♠ K♥ K♦ K♣ + any |
| 4 | Full House | Three of a kind plus a pair | Q Q Q + 9 9 |
| 5 | Flush | Any five cards of the same suit | 3♦ 7♦ J♦ Q♦ A♦ |
| 6 | Straight | Five consecutive cards, any suit | 6 7 8 9 10 |
| 7 | Three of a Kind | Three cards of the same rank | J♠ J♥ J♦ |
| 8 | Two Pairs | Two different pairs played together (5-card play) | A A + 8 8 + any |
| 9 | Pair | Two cards of the same rank | 7♠ 7♦ |
| 10 | Single Card | Any single card; 2s rank highest, 3s lowest | 2♠ beats all singles |
* In Pusoy Dos, card suit ranking (highest to lowest): Spades ♠ > Hearts ♥ > Clubs ♣ > Diamonds ♦. The 2 of Spades is the absolute highest card.
Ask any Filipino about their earliest card game memories and Pusoy will almost certainly come up. It's the game that stretches across generations — the one your lola taught you, the one you played during brownouts, the one that turns a quiet afternoon barangay fiesta into something loud and competitive.
The game has deep roots in Filipino Chinese communities and spread throughout the archipelago over decades. Today you'll find Pusoy being played from Batanes to Tawi-Tawi, in condos in BGC and in nipa huts in the province. It's genuinely classless — Pusoy doesn't care where you come from, just how well you play your hand.
jilic was built with this cultural respect in mind. When we brought Pusoy online, we didn't just digitise a card game. We tried to capture the spirit of those late-night games with friends — the trash talk, the bluffing, the satisfaction of dropping a 2 of Spades to win a round when everyone thought you were finished. That's the energy at every jilic Pusoy table.
jilic offers several Pusoy variants so players of every style and skill level have a home at our tables. Here's what's available right now.
The original Filipino shedding game. Each player gets 13 cards and must get rid of them all to win. The player holding the 3 of Diamonds starts. First to shed all 13 cards wins the pot. This is the most popular variant on jilic and the best starting point for new players.
Each player arranges their 13 cards into three hands: a 3-card front hand, a 5-card middle hand, and a 5-card back hand, in ascending strength order. Players score points by comparing each hand against opponents. A royalty system rewards special combinations like three-of-a-kind in front or a straight flush in back.
A more strategic variant where cards are dealt face-up as the game progresses, allowing players to see each other's partial hands. This creates a deeper decision layer that rewards players who can read the table and plan their hand construction accordingly. Popular with experienced jilic players looking for a challenge.
jilic hosts regular Pusoy Dos tournament events with buy-ins starting as low as ₱50. Compete against other Filipino players across multiple rounds for escalating prize pools. Tournament schedules are posted in advance so you can plan your bankroll and availability. Finals winners can earn substantial payouts.
