Online Phỏm is one of the most popular online card games in Vietnam. With the familiar 52-card deck and simple rules, this game has attracted many players on various wagering website. However, to play online Phỏm successfully, players need to master the rules and card-playing skills.

History of Phỏm Cards

According to many people, the game of Phỏm appeared in the late 20th century and is said to originate from Xuan Thu village, Tu Son district, Bac Ninh province.

While discussing the rules of the game, someone from the Ba Vi region eavesdropped and learned the game, and then spread it throughout Kinh Bac province.

How to Play Online Phỏm

When playing Phỏm, players use a 52-card poker deck. The card values from highest to lowest are: K> Q> J> 10> 9> 8> 7> 6> 5> 4> 3> 2> A. In Phỏm, the K is considered the highest card, and it is worth 13 points. The A is the lowest card, and it is worth only 1 point. Cards with the same value or in sequential order form a "phỏm" set of at least three cards.

The rules for playing online Phỏm with rewards

In order to play Phỏm bịp, or rigged Phỏm, we need to understand the basic rules of Phỏm. Let's find out!

Before playing Phỏm, everyone must shuffle the cards, meaning they thoroughly mix the cards. The card shuffler will have a total of 10 cards and the rest of the players will receive a total of 9 cards each. The remaining cards are called the "nọc bài" pile.

Firstly, the player with 10 cards will go first. This player is called the "sế" and has the right to play the first card, which is a junk card, from their hand. The next player can "ăn" or eat the card if it helps them form a "phỏm" or a set of cards, like a straight flush. If they don't want to eat the card, they must draw one card from the "nọc bài" pile.

Lastly, we will play another junk card from our hand. If the third player can eat the card, they will. If they cannot, they must either draw a card from the middle pile or "nọc bài". If nobody eats the card, we can continue playing junk cards until the fourth player. We continue playing like this until the end of the game.

Finally, the online Phỏm game will end when a player declares "ù" or "u", which means they have formed a "phỏm" without any extra cards left in their hand. In the event that nobody declares "ù", the game will end after 4 rounds of play. However, before we discard the junk card in the fourth round, players must show all their sets of cards, which is called "hạ bài" in some regions.

How to calculate points when playing Phỏm online with rewards

After the end of each round, each player will calculate their points by adding up the values of all cards with J=11, Q=12, K=13, and A=1. Cards with numeric values will have points corresponding to the number on the card.

In games with four players, the player with the lowest points will be the winner. Next, the players with the second lowest, third lowest, and highest points will rank in decreasing order. However, if there are multiple players with the same number of points, the player who won with the lowest card will have priority and be declared the winner. The player who runs out of cards (or burns) will be considered last (or fourth place).

If a player wins with a Phỏm (three of a kind or a sequence of three cards of the same suit) in an online Phỏm game, that player immediately wins and the other three players lose equally (no ranking). Therefore, in games with three or two players, the ranking will also be determined in a similar manner!

Some basic terms used in playing Phỏm online

When playing Phỏm, in addition to understanding the rules of the game, players need to be familiar with related terms. Only then can players become proficient in playing Phỏm and not be confused when other players mention these terms during the game.

Effective ways to avoid being trapped

According to the rules of Phỏm, players only have to pay 1 bet when caught with a normal discard card. However, if a player is trapped while playing Phỏm, the losing bet will be multiplied by 4. Therefore, being trapped while playing Phỏm is something that nobody wants, so players should be careful to avoid being trapped. Everyone has to experience it at least once, but try to pay attention to reduce the occurrence!

Therefore, players can use the strategy of disrupting their opponents' sets to avoid losing their own sets, while being very careful to remember their own cards to avoid mistakes. Only then can players stay safe.

For example, if a player has a pair of 8 waiting for a set, but cannot get the card, then in round 3, quickly play the first 8 card. If the player below cannot take it, then in round 4, play the second 8 card to create a trap for themselves. That is how players can create their own traps.

However, for experienced players, they will easily recognize these traps and try to break them to win. Therefore, it takes time and practice to perfect this strategy. Players must play cleverly to avoid being caught and try to catch other players' cards, which is a continuous learning process.
