Stake Poker offers No Limit Pineapple events running through the week. Buy-ins start at $1 and prize pools can reach $500.

Stake Poker expanded its tournament line-up with No Limit Pineapple tournaments, a format that adds a strategic twist to the familiar Texas Hold'em structure. 

The variant keeps the classic community card format but introduces an extra decision point that can significantly change hand dynamics.

In Pineapple poker, players receive three hole cards instead of two at the start of the hand. Before the flop is dealt, each player must discard one card, leaving the traditional two-card hand used in Texas Hold'em. 

This mechanic increases the likelihood of stronger starting hands while forcing players to make an early strategic choice.

Stake Poker has designed a regular schedule to keep the format active throughout the week. The tournaments run throughout the week, giving players frequent opportunities to participate without requiring large bankroll commitments.
